Josef Capek, who entered the Prague Conservatory at the age of twelve and completed his studies there in 1843, studied under Friedrich Dionys Weber. Weber, a prominent Czech composer and longtime director of the Prague Conservatory, taught Capek composition during his tenure leading the institution. This teacher‑student relationship placed Capek within the conservative musical tradition shaped by Weber in early‑19th‑century Prague.
