Bohuslav Martinů (1890–1959) was a Czech composer and one of the most significant figures in 20th-century Czech music. He worked across many genres, from symphonies and chamber music to operas and piano works. His piano cycle Loutky (Puppets, 1912–1925) is among his early compositions and inspired the puppet opera Boža v říši Loutek.
