Jiří Laburda, born in Sobeslav in 1931, is a Czech composer who is close to neoclassicism with regard to style, but has also used aleatorism and dodecaphony in his comprehensive oeuvre. Laburda wrote the cheerful 'Buffoneria' for two of his students at the Prague Conservatoire. This scherzo, with its charming instrumental combination of clarinet and accordion, is perfect for concerts and as a competition piece.
