Antonín Leopold Dvořák (8 September 1841 – 1 May 1904) was a Czechoslovak composer who was known for frequnently employing rythms and other aspects of Folk Music of Moravia and his native Bohemia (in the modern-day Czech Republic), following the Romantic-era nationalist example of his predecessor Bedřich Smetana.
His musical style has been described as "the fullest recreation of a national idiom with that of the symphonic tradition, absorbing folk influences and finding effective ways of using them," and was described as "the most versatile... composer of his time".
His music appears in Little Einsteins, in both Seasons 1 and 2.

Trivia[]
- In the episode Melody the Music Pet, the picture of Antonín Dvořák looks young, but in Rocket Soup, the new picture of Antonín Dvořák looks significantly aged, as he has different hair, is slightly balding and has a beard and a mustache.
- As a result, he is one of the few composers to use an alternate portait in episodes, the others being Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Felix Mendelssohn.
- He is one of the few composers to appear in both seasons of Little Einsteins, the others being Beethoven, Grieg, Mozart, and Bizet.
