Alois Hába

p, 1893-1973 CZ, Vizovice
Musician / Composer of Classical

Alois Hába (June 21, 1893 – November 18, 1973) was a Czech composer, musical theorist, and teacher. He belongs to the important discoverers in modern classical music, and major composers of microtonal music, especially using the quarter-tone scale, though he used others such as sixth-tones (e.g., in the 5th, 10th and 11th String Quartets), fifth-tones (Sixteenth String Quartet), and twelfth-tones. From the other mictrotonal conceptions, he discussed a "three-quarter tone" system (see three-quarter tone flat and the neutral second) in his theoretical works with doubts,[clarification needed] but he used scales in this tuning in sections of some of his compositions. In his prolific career, Hába composed three operas, a huge collection of chamber music including 16 string quartets, piano, orga
