Josef Bohuslav Foerster (30 December 1859 – 29 May 1951) was a Czech composer and musicologist. Born and educated in Prague, he produced numerous compositions, but his music is not nationalistic in the sense of employing the idioms of Czech folk music. Foerster's compositions include five symphonies, other orchestral works including a symphonic poem based on Cyrano de Bergerac, much chamber music, at least five operas, concertos for cello and violin, and liturgical music, among other works, over 170 published opus numbers in all. Many of his works were dedicated to his family members.
