520 3 a| This investigation focuses upon the organ compositions of the Czechoslovakian Petr Eben (born 1929), a Prague-based composer who has devoted much of his creative output to music for that instrument. Chapter one is a brief history of modern Czechoslovakia since its creation after the first World War with attention directed toward the political events which have shaped present-day cultural dynamics. Chapter two begins with a biographical study of the composer which recounts his youth in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia, his later musical education in Prague and subsequent activities as a composer, performer and teacher. This is followed by an interview which is a compilation of conversations between Eben and the present writer, conducted both in person and through correspondence. The topics which are addressed in this interview include the composer's artistic aesthetic, the life experiences and musical influences which helped shape it, and his approach to the compositional process. The final section of this chapter explores aspects of his musical style as exemplified by his numerous works for organ. Among the topics covered are the importance of indigenous Czech musical elements (i.e., melodic, harmonic and rhythmic characteristics of folksong) and the frequently referential nature of Eben's music. Chapter three is a chronological examination of all organ works which were available to the present writer at the time of publication excluding Faust for Organ. These are: Organ Concerto (1953); Nedělńi Hudba; Chorale Fantasies I and II; Okna; Mutationes; A Festive Voluntary; Hommage à Buxtehude; Ten Preludes on Chorales of the Bohemian Brethren, and Versetti. Each work is examined in regard to its basic formal characteristics as defined by thematic, harmonic and rhythmic elements. Chapter four provides an in-depth analysis of Faust for Organ, the nine-movement cycle inspired by the composer's own stage music which was written for a 1976 production of Goethe's play at the Burgtheater in Vienna. A brief summary is included as well as a selected bibliography.;
