Headline and summary by local AI

Czech pianist Miroslav Beinhauer released a double album containing the first complete recording of the piano compositions by Alois Hába.

Beinhauer is a musician known for performing unconventional and lesser-known music from the 20th and 21st centuries. He specializes in the work of Hába, a pioneer of microtonal music who developed a unique sixth-tone harmonium. This project explores a side of the composer that differs from his well-known experiments with microtones.

The collection released by Supraphon in 2025 covers nearly 60 years of music. It includes pieces ranging from a 1914 sonata to the Six Moods written in 1971. The recordings feature a variety of forms, including fugues, dances, and variations, to provide a full look at the development of the composer's musical style.
