Jiří Sternwald

Jiří Sternwald, the compositional pupil of R. Karel, O. Šín and J. Křička, worked for a long time as a practical musician – violinist (he studied the violin at the Conservatory in Prague under V. Bastař and B. Voldan). Later he mainly devoted his efforts to composing music for the theatre and for film. He cooperated with E.F. Burian, for whose theatre he created many scenic musical scores.

At the time of the war, he had already begun cooperation with the world of film, which culminated in the post-war period with a respectable amount of music for feature films as well as medium-length and short films – animated, documentary and also popular educational films. His concert work was somewhat pushed into the background during certain periods under this huge workload, but Sternwald never gave this up completely.

He is the author of many chamber compositions, orchestral, vocal and dramatic musical works (musicals).
