Karel Zvěřina (1871–1944) was appointed a teacher and later a school-director in Křečovice between 1894 and 1930. His papers, today in the Town Museum in Netvořice, near Křečovice, contain a numer of documents concerning his Křečovice principal, the school director Josef Suk, and his family – mainly his son, the composer Josef Suk, and his father-in-law, Antonín Dvořák. There are, among others, letters by Josef Suk sen., and a print of his festive speech from 1893, describing the hard life of a 19th century village teacher, anecdotes from Antonín Dvořák’s visits to Křečovice, written by Zvěřina, as well as his drawing of the Křečovice church organ-loft and interior, marking places taken by the important guests (the Czech Quartett, Antonín Dvořák, members of his and Josef Suk’s family), and, especially, one letter written by the composer Josef Suk and several drafts of his works, including the title leaf of Pod jabloní op. 20 – the only existing remainder of the original eighteen-page draft of this composition.
