Václav Dobiáš (born 22 September 1909, Radčice, Bohemia – d. Prague, 18 May 1978) was a Czech composer.

Contents

Dobiáš studied in Prague with Josef Bohuslav Foerster and then at the Prague Conservatory under Vítězslav Novák. Many of his early works show considerable influence from folk music. Later in his life he became interested in quarter tone composition, especially after studying with Alois Hába. After working in the Czech Ministry of Information, he became professor at the Prague Academy of Music in 1950. Some of his 1940s and 1950s works, especially his cantatas, were written in praise of communism.
