František Xaver Dušek: Piano Concerto in D Major, Jan Novotný (piano)

František Xaver Dušek - Piano Concerto in D Major, Jan Novotný (piano), Pardubice State Chamber Orchestra, Libor Pešek (conductor) I. Allegro – 0:00 II. Largo (Cadenza – Jan Novotný) – 05:57 III. Allegro – 17:03 František Xaver Dušek (German: Franz Xaver Duschek or Dussek); baptised 8 December 1731 – 12 February 1799) was one of the prominent personalities of Prague musical life in the second half of the 18th century, not only as a composer, but also as a pianist and teacher. He was a teacher of Mozart's son Karl Thomas, who became a gifted pianist, although he did not pursue a career in music. Dušek's wife, Josepha Hambacher (7 March 1753 – 8 January 1824), had been taught by him and was a famous pianist and soprano. She sang important soprano roles in Mozart operas in early performances, and Mozart's concert aria Bella mia fiamma (catalogued as K. 528) was written for her. The main part of Dušek’ output consists of orchestral, chamber and piano works : cca. 40 symphonies, numerous quartets, string trios, parthitas for the wind instruments, serenades, divertimentos, minuets, harpsichord concertos, harpsichord sonatas, and sets of variations. Dušek's works were written in a period stretching from late Baroque to high Classicism, similar, for instance, to the work of Haydn. Dušek's musical style grew from the fully mastered essentials of the old Vienna school, reaching mature Classical expression of the Haydnesque character. We can discern also the influence of the gallant style of the Italian type (Hasse, Galuppi, Rutini), as well as the influence of the Berlin school (Benda, C. P. E. Bach), especially in the slow movements of some sonatas and concertos. Baroque elements also appear now and then.
