At the Prague Conservatory he studied cello with Jan Burian and Julius Junek and chamber music with Ladislav Zelenka . After several concert tours in Europe, he devoted himself to teaching, teaching at the Conservatory and since 1946 at the Faculty of Music of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague . Most of the Czech cellists from the 1930s to 1950s, including the soloists and chamber musicians Miloš Sádlo , František Smetana , Josef Chuchro , Antonín Kohout , and František Sláma , were his students.

In 1928 he founded his own music publisher Edition Sádlo , where he wrote his cello compositions and didactic works as well as the works of other contemporary composers, e. B. Jaroslav Řídkýs , published. His technical studies (1925) suggested - two years before the publication of the Stutschewsky School - a turn to modern techniques of playing the cello.
