  Alois Haba - Czech Contemporary Composer
Haba is so far the only composer to have written microtonal compositions on a melodic-harmonic base, in all forms of modern music and for the most varied instrumental and vocal content.
Haba does not see these microtones of his as new interval values but as alterations in scale and non-scale intervals of the half-tone system by which he wishes only to emphasise the content aspect of his music.
For Haba the composer and the theorist it was typical that he did not link this humanistic mission of his work with ephemeral concessions which would have weakened the clarity and penetration of the style and language of his music.

His most significant innovative contribution to European music is his reworking of the tonal system into quarter, six, twelve, and five tone systems, which come from the Moravian folk tradition.
Haba also educated a succession of students as a professor at Prague's Conservatory and AMU.

 'Schoenberg and the further possibilities of music-development' English translation (c)1999 by Joe Monzo
It's an article by the Czech microtonal composer and theorist Alois Hába, from the celebratory book for Schoenberg's 60th birthday, which appeared shortly after Schoenberg's emigration from Europe, at about the time he moved from Boston to Los Angeles.
Most contributions to the book are quite short, and are cheifly reminiscenses from those who knew Schoenberg as a youth, comments on his teaching by his students, or various other personal stories by colleagues.
To a harmonious new-formation it is necessary to apply at least one major 7th, minor 2nd or minor 9th in the chord (example 3, 3a, 3b).
