Chronological List of the works of Alois H?ba

For whoever's interested.

I'll be turning this into a webpage, with MIDI samples
of whatever scores I can get access to.

Chronological List of the works of Alois H�ba
by Joe Monzo

Adapted from Jir� Vyslouzil, _Alois H�ba: zivot a d�lo_, Prague, 1974.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

NOTE:

H�ba was born in 1893 and died in 1973, was Czech, and lived in
Prague nearly his whole life, where he taught at the Conservatory.

H�ba's earliest microtonal piece appears to be the 2nd Quartet
(1920) in 24-tET, and last was apparently the 16th Quartet
(1967), his only work in 31-tET.

'semitone' refers to the usual 12-tET scale
'quarter-tone' refers to 24-tET
'5th-tone' I believe refers to 31-tET (not 30-tET)
'6th-tone' refers to 36-tET
'12th-tone' refers to 72-tET - *not* Schoenberg's '12-tone method'
