Clavier music by J.A.Benda from the Razumovskys` music collection

The contemporary composers` limited knowledge of the musical culture of the second half of the 18th and the first of the 19th centuries has led to the fast that in the repertoire of students there is a uniformity and standard in the performance of famous composers and their works of this period. The holding of a number of educational exihitions by the staff of the leading libraries of the Czech Republic and Ukraine revaled a large layer of musical culture of hitherto unkmown works and their authors, especially from the Razumovskys` music collection. The difficulty in reading the musical text in old keys did not become an obstacle to mastering this musical literature. Of particular note are Georg Benda`s Six Sonatas for Clavier. Interest is aroused not only bu the comprehension of this work, but also by the personality of the composer, the era and the style of interpretation. The author strongly recommends including the composition of G.Benda Six Sonatas for Clavier into the educational repertoire of musical educational institutions
