Husa, Karel. (1921–2016). "Music for Prague" - Autograph musical quotation.
AMQ by the Czech-American composer who has penned the first four measures of "Introduction and Fanfare," first movement of his Music for Prague (1968), notated on two staves as a piano reduction with instrumental cues. Inscribed, "To Steve Juscik / in a souvenir / Ithaca / May 21, '79," though unsigned. Sheet cut from 12-staff pad. 11 x 8.25 inches (28 x 20.8 cm).
"Husa is best known for a series of large scores that derive their considerable power from the combination of coruscating orchestration and formal invention with an emotional depth that reflects his political, ethical, and humanitarian concerns. Foremost among such works are Music for Prague 1968, Apotheosis of this Earth (1971, rev. 1972), and the ballet The Trojan Women (1981)." Byron Adams in Grove Music Online
