Classical Music Playlist, November 29, 2021
He knew CPE Bach, and Haydn praised him; he may have had affairs with Russia's Catherine the Great and Marie Antoinette. Handsome, womanizing and flamboyant, Czech composer and pianist Jan Dussek's life story, strewn with affairs and intrigue, reads like a novel. He is also believed to be the first person to turn the piano sideways to the audience. Dussek's Concerto for Two Pianos is today's Midday Masterpiece at 2pm.
