Product description
The composer Eduard Douša was inspired to write his 12 piano études entitled “ Hommage á Bertini” by the Études, Op. 100, by the French composer Henri Bertini (1798–1876).
The author says of this cycle: “When I became acquainted with these études, I realized once again that an étude does not have to be just a mechanical exercise in specific technical problems of the instrument. And so I tried to write études that are melodic and stylistically interesting, but using the now established musical language of the 20th century.”
Eduard Douša (* August 31, 1951, Prague) is a Czech composer and pedagogue. In 1971 he completed his studies in musicology at Charles University in Prague and continued his education at music theory and composition at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. He is a professor at the Prague Conservatory and lectures at the Institute of Musicology, Faculty of Arts, Charles University. In addition to orchestral music, chamber compositions and music for solo instruments, Douša composed music for Czech Radio for more than a hundred radio fairy tales, mini-operas and children's songs.
