Josef Klička

Josef Klička (15 December 1855, Klatovy, Kingdom of Bohemia – 28 March 1937, Klatovy) was a Czech organist, violinist, composer, conductor and pedagogue. He produced several large organ compositions in the style of late romanticism; these have been recorded on CD.

Josef Klička (1884)

A graduate in organ-playing from the Conservatory in Prague, Klička subsequently worked as organist and conductor and eventually became acting professor at his old school. This was from 1892 to 1895, as deputy for Dvořák, then in the USA.

Klička's son was Václav Klička (1882–1953), a harpist. Václav also taught for some years at the Prague Conservatory.

gollark: MBS uses it.
gollark: This works okayish with a bit of instability on low TPS or something.
gollark: Basically, it just sends 2 bytes every two ticks with no clock signal or anything.
gollark: Right. Fair point. I'm sure there's some networking stuff around for networking over a channel where you can't run two things at once.
gollark: I also had the weird idea of networking between adjacent devices by setting labels really fast, but that probably could get by with just some sensible error checking.
