Jan Ladislav Dussek (1760-1812): A Bohemian Composer "en voyage" through Europe. (Quaderni Clementiani, no. 4)

The Dussek piano trios addressed by Lott appear to be closer in style to Haydn's "accompanied piano sonata" practice than to anything like the more equal treatment of the instruments seen in the early nineteenth century. Taken as a whole, the book is sure to be the most important scholarly resource on Dussek for some time to come. Since his coincidental birth and death dates inspired the production of so much scholarship, we can only hope that further high-quality research on this composer will be forthcoming in the coming non-commemorative years.
