Hear and Now

Prominent writer on music and an active musician looks on the phenomenon of improvised music that has become one of the hottest trends on the music scene. Theoretical reflections on improvisation and composition put contemporary music into a broader perspective; they are followed by profiles of important musicians and ensembles. “After Jozef Cseres’ book, the Music Centre Slovakia scores another point and is well ahead. Will somebody in the Czech Republic ever dare to match this achievement? This is a true challenge indeed.” (Lukáš Jiřička, His Voice 1/2004)
