		A decade later, the Prague Spring lent its name to an analogous period of Chinese political liberalization known as the Beijing Spring.

		A special role in Husa's oeuvre is played by his Prague works, his "Pragensia," a term which we may interpret in two ways, firstly and more generally as a label for those works that have come about as a result of the composer's relationship with Prague.
		Whilst Husa was still a student he was already being written of as a composer of great musicality and inventiveness, as one of the greatest hopes for the future of Czech music.
		And Husa's works for Prague are particularly important to our understanding of his creative beginnings and to the establishing of a firm place for his music within Czech culture.
