A somewhat more obscure Czech composer - Frantisek Picka (1873-1918). Organist, conductor and composer. Born into a musical family and received his training in Prague. Held several posts as chorus master and opera conductor. His opera "The Painter" flopped but he is best remembered for his church music, including nine masses.

I have posted his Husitska Rhapsodie.

I compiled this file from the images online at the University of North Carolina library website: Joseph Gelinek's piano variations on the same Weigl tune that Beethoven used in his opus 11 trio:

Thanks for all those works...Does anyone have Twelve Rhapsodies by Vorisek? I think it is his Opus 1...Sorry if I'm wrong...I post also his impromptus if anyone wants them...I guess they're in public domain...

Yes, but he was neither Czech nor Slovak, but Croatian by birth and possibly Serbian by heritage.

So the Balkan thread would be the right place for this composer.
