Jan Hugo Voríšek
Selected Piano Works
Jan Hugo Voříšek (1791–1825), born the year that Mozart died, is, we believe, the one who stands out amongst the Bohemian composers at the time of Beethoven. He is currently enjoying a well-deserved renaissance. Our edition of selected piano works, edited by Dana Zahn, focuses on shorter pieces (Impromptus, Fantasy, Variations), but also contains a real gem: the B minor Piano Sonata “Quasi una Fantasia” (op. 20).
About the Composer
Jan Hugo Voríšek
A composer, pianist, and organist from Bohemia whose works point to the beginning of early musical Romanticism; he was, for instance, the first to use the term impromptu for a piano piece. Aside from his compositional output he was one of the most popular pianists in Vienna during his lifetime. He wrote songs, cantatas, chamber music, and works for orchestra, among other things.
