The only example of a working sixth-tone harmonium in the world belongs to the collections of the National Museum and is permanently exhibited in the Czech Museum of Music in Prague. Sub Rosa presents these new compositions that were written by
Phill Niblock
,
Klaus Lang
,
Bernhard Lang
,
Milan Gustar
,
Judith Berkson
,
Idin Samimi Mofakham
, and
Ian Mikyska
. The premiere of these compositions took place in August 2023 as part of the Ostrava Days contemporary music festival. Performed by pianist
Miroslav Beinhauer
, who is currently the only musician in the world to be able to play this unique instrument. The first model of the sixth-tone harmonium was created in the 1920s on the basis of a commission from the pioneer of microtonal music,
Alois Hába
, whose visions for its construction convinced the company
August Förster
. The improved model of the harmonium dates from 1936 by the same company. The first Czechoslovak president
Masaryk
supported the purchase of the new instrument by contributing ten thousand crowns, and the same amount was added by the Ministry of Education and National Enlightenment at the time. In 2018,
Miroslav Beinhauer
participated in the premiere of Hába's sixth-tone opera
Come Thy Kingdom
, followed by the staging and recording of Alois Hába's opus
Six Compositions For Sixth-Tone Harmonium, op. 37
, which was the only solo composition for this instrument for more than ninety years. In the last three years, new repertoire for sixth-tone harmonium has been written by renowned Czech and foreign composers.
