Kubelík, Ján 

Born July 5, 1880, in Michle, near Prague; died Dec. 5, 1940, in Prague. Czech violinist and composer.

In 1898, Kubelik graduated from the Prague Conservatory, where he studied violin with O. Ševčík. Later he studied composition with J. Foerster and K. Knittl. In the period from 1898 to 1938 he toured many countries (he first came to Russia in 1901 and to the USSR in 1927).
