He composed a vast number of, for example, operas, symphonies, solo concertos and chamber music. His Wind Quintet from 1943 is considered his most important work. Leoš Janáček wrote his playful, virtuoso Wind Sextet only twenty years earlier, at the end of his life. He called it Mládí, which means “youth” in Czech.
