3 Sonatas

The Czech composer Jiří Laburda was born in Soběslav in 1931. His work is based on traditional means while also being close to neoclassicism with regard to style, but he has also used aleatorism and dodecaphony in his comprehensive oeuvre. He has devoted himself to the accordion for many years, extending the repertoire for this instrument and composing works for accordion solo or with accompaniment. The three sonatas provide enjoyable music in a classical form but with a modern flavour. Rewarding and virtuosic music for the accordion.
