Information: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Josef Suk (4 January 1874 - 29 May 1935) was a Czech composer and violinist. Suk was born in Katovice. He studied at Prague Conservatory from 1885 to 1892, where he was a pupil of Antonin Dvorak and Antonin Bennewitz. In 1898, he married Dvorak's eldest daughter, Otilie Dvorakova (1878-1905), affectionately known as Otilka. In 1901, she bore him their only son, Josef (1901 - 1951). Otilie died in 1905, and the composer never remarried. He formed the Czech Quartet with three of his fellow students; Suk played second violin with them for most of his life. From 1922 he taught at the Prague Conservatory where his pupils included Bohuslav Martinu. He died in Benesov.
