The
Czech composer František Xaver Dušek (1731–1799) was one of the leading
figures in the musical life of late 18th-century Prague. He was an
outstanding pianist, composer and teacher whose pupils included Leopold
Koželuch.

by publication date and are all of easy technical difficulty. A
Commentary by the editor offers useful tips on performance practice.
