Info for Jan Ladislav Dussek: Concerto for Two Pianos, Sonata for Two Fortepianos - Leopold Koželuh: Concerto for Piano Four Hands

To Leopold Koželuh, rival and successor of Mozart,, one essentially owes the abandoning of the harpsichord in favour of the pianoforte, to Dusík/Dussek the advent of the modern piano. The second was erred only by being right too soon and writing avant-garde music before the pre-eminence of Liszt. It remains to grant them the place that they deserve, for his instrument - 32 Piano Sonatas - and in the sphere of forgotten piano duets.

Jan Ladislav Dusík (February 12, 1760 – March 20, 1812) was a Czech composer and pianist. He was an important representative of Czech music abroad in the second half of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. Some of his more forward-looking piano works have traits often associated with Romanticism.
