Vilém Blodek (October 3, 1834, Prague – May 1, 1874, Prague) was a Czech composer, flautist, and pianist. Blodek began composing at the conservatory at the age of 13 (wind sextet, 1847) in a style that owed much to his teacher Kittl, to Mendelssohn, and to the early German Romantics. His Symphony in D minor (1858–9), his most ambitious work at the time. His Flute Concerto (1862) is a brilliant and attractive flute work. Blodek’s best-known work is his one-act opera V studni (In the Well) <a hr
