František Xaver Dušek (Franz Xaver Duschek) (bapt. December 8, 1731 – February 12, 1799), was a Czech composer and one of the most important harpsichordists and pianists of his time.

Dušek was born at Chotěborky, near Jaroměř. He was taught the harpsichord in Vienna by Georg Christoph Wagenseil and established himself around 1770 in Prague as a successful keyboard teacher. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was his guest in his Villa Bertramka in Kosiře, just outside Prague, and finished at least two of his major works there: in 1787 the opera Don Giovanni and probably also La clemenza di Tito in 1791. He died in Prague. Dušek was one of the teachers of Mozart's son Karl Thomas Mozart, who became a gifted pianist, although he did not pursue a career in music.
Dušek's wife Josepha Hambacher (March 7, 1753 – January 8, 1824) had been taught by him and was a famous pianist and soprano. She sang important soprano roles in Mozart operas in early performances, and Mozart's concert aria Bella mia fiamma (catalogued as K. 528) was written for her.[1]
Dušek composed sonatas, variations and concertos for harpsichord and piano and several symphonies and string quartets. Much of his music is in the galant style of the early Classical period.
The Austrian-Australian composer Eric Gross wrote three suites for violin and orchestra, named Dussekiana I-III, based on piano pieces of František Xaver Dussek.[2]
