Otilie Suková was the daughter of Antonín Dvořák and the wife of
Josef Suk. A gifted musician, she played the piano and wrote several
compositions of her own, inspired by her musical surroundings.
Four of her piano pieces have survived; Suk wrote them down after
his wife’s performance. “Lullaby”, “Humoresque” and “Joey on the
Horsie” were published four years after her death as a supplement to
the periodical Zlatá Praha. “To Dear Daddy” appears here for the first
time in print. It is based on two manuscripts; the first is Suk's
manuscript, the second is Otilie's clean copy of Suk's manuscript.
