The Sufferings of the Queen of France

Last year when I was on vacation and had access to only a keyboard, I began learning some harpsichord works. I went on IMSLP and looked at everything there that was written for harpsichord/fortepiano. In doing so, I discovered this piece by Dussek. I looked on CCH for his name, and it only came up once: an upload by AgnusDei back in 2020, which was a transcription of a piano sonata for organ by a British organist, see here – https://www.contrebombarde.com/concerthall/music/42537. AgnusDei wrote the following about Dussek:

“Jan Ladislav Dussek (1760 – 1812) was a Czech composer and pianist. He was an important representative of Czech music abroad in the second half of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. Some of his more forward-looking piano works have traits often associated with Romanticism.

Dussek was one of the first piano virtuosos to travel widely throughout Europe. He performed at courts and concert venues from London to Saint Petersburg to Milan, and was celebrated for his technical prowess. During a nearly ten-year stay in London, he was instrumental in extending the size of the pianoforte. He was one of the best-regarded pianists in Europe before Beethoven's rise to prominence.”
