`  ::It appears that this book, which is a doctoral dissertation, is likely the definitive statement on Dussek.  (The author, Craw, is the name behind the catalog numbers in the works listing.)  It's in English of course, and only generally available in university or music school libraries here.  ::A brief tour through Google Books turns up a decent amount of writing about him, although generally in the context of either the history of the piano, or piano virtuosos, so they are usually short on biographic details.  There is some musicology on him, I think in part because of his role in promoting the piano.  Perhaps books.google.cz can also turn up some interesting scholarship? (I'm not inclined to pursue this article right now, which is why I mentioned it to you  I feel like I need to tackle Ludwig van Beethoven instead.  I may pick up some of Dussek's music though.) '''' `
