Přehled o publikaci

The publication provides a comprehensive view of the keyboard work of Alois Hába, one of the most prominent composers of Czech music of the 20th century. The author maps the composer's keyboard works, which include compositions for semitone piano, quartertone piano, six-tone harmonium and organ. In its main parts, the publication reflects on Hába's work for these instruments, places it in a historical and aesthetic context and analyses its position within Hába's entire oeuvre. At the same time, the author draws on his authentic interpretative experience and supplements the publication with a newly prepared edition of Hába's Three Fugues for Piano.
