Jindřich Bastař

Jindřich Bastař, a pupil of Otakar Ševčík who taught at the Prague Conservatory from 1908, fascinates me. Born in Plánice in the Plzeň region in 1879 and gone by 1937, he was a violinist, composer, and teacher who lived through one of Central Europe's most turbulent stretches. I keep imagining the tone he must have coaxed from his strings, and the students he handed his craft to. The teaching detail moves me most: it means his music outlived him through others. He may be a footnote now, but I suspect those who heard him remembered the warmth, and that quiet legacy is worth honoring.
