AB  - An important Czech music historian, Miroslav Karel Černý (December 11, 1924 - July 10, 2011) died in Prague after a short disease. He worked as a lecturer at the Faculty of Education of Charles University, later at the Department of Music Theory and History in the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, as a researcher at the Institute of Musicology of the Czechoslovak Academy of Science (1962-1985), and as an associated professor at the Department of Musicology of Palacký University in Olomouc (since 1991). In defiance of his serious eye defect, his scholarly work is extensive. He was oriented to European 19th and 20th century music, methodology of musicology, and symphonies of Antonín Dvořák. His monograph Hudba antických kultur [Music of Ancient Cultures] (Olomouc, 1995; 2nd enlarged edition, Prague, 2006) is a book of international significance.
