Josef Suk’s Serenade for Strings in E flat major Op. 6 was composed in 1892. While Suk was studying under Antonín Dvořák at the Prague Conservatory Dvořák noticed a melancholy strain in much of Suk’s music and recommended he write some lighter and more cheerful music. Based on Dvořák’s suggestion Suk produced a serenade for strings. Two movements were publicly conducted by Suk in late 1893 in Tábor.
