VOŘÍŠEK, J.H.: Piano Works (Complete), Vol. 2 - Theme and Variations / 2 Rondos / Le Desir / Le Plaisir / Impromptus (Urban)
This second volume devoted to the music of Bohemian-born Jan Hugo Voříšek charts his rapid compositional development from the early Stammbuchblatt and Impromptu in B flat to the tone-painting of the Rondos. With their incipient Romanticism, his character pieces share something of Schubert’s harmonic ideas and suggest why Voříšek should be seen as a leading Viennese composer of the first quarter of the nineteenth century.
