Rössler is an important member of the group of Czech composers
living in emigration in North Germany. He began composing in the early
classical pre-Haydn style but gradually changed his methods of expression
to those used by Haydn and Mozart.
Jan Ladislav Dussek came from a family of musicians. His mother was
a talented harpist. The harp sonatas by Dussek were composed in the
last decade of the eighteenth century.
