Jan Ladislav Dussek (1760-1812) was a Bohemian composer, whose piano sonatas belong to the most important and most forward-looking compositions for the instrument at the turn of the 18th to the 19th century.
The parts of Dussek's op.9 belong to the first piano compositions, composed in 1789 when he stayed in Paris. The sonatas are nice and lovely pieces; they already show a distance to the works of W.A.Mozart (1756-1791) in forceful accords, cleverer harmonies and deposting the "viennese" airiness.
