Pavel Stanék wrote to his publisher about his music and particularly about the "Nocturno for Euphonium": "I do not need any inspiration beyond music itself to compose music. My music is and describes only music. I think, that must be enough and otherwise I would not be a very good composer. I felt the need to write this Nocturno as I wanted to write a little piece with impressionistic harmonies. Maybe my comment also explains why it often is really difficult for me to find a title for my compositions.
