His compositions are very contemporary, if only for the fact that they oscillate between serious and popular music. They are neither in a purely classical or purely popular style. His compositions are very melodic and rhythmically interesting; Milan Tesař the composer literally scintillates with musical ideas. To put it simply, his music has gotten under my skin, in the good sense of the phrase. At the university where I teach in Germany, I recommend his music to my students, and they really enjoy playing it. Even there, his music is always a big success when it is performed, which gives me, as a patriot, a great deal of pleasure.

I play the pieces of professor Milan Tesař? because I like them. I choose my repertoire according to whether or not a piece has some emotional content. The emotional content of his pieces is very strong. He is a Czech composer, even if you cannot, at first hearing, identify some characteristic Czech melodic treatment in his work. It is, however, clearly present in his compositions, and in my opinion, he is well aware of it. Not for nothing did he name one of his albums Czech Colors.

Milan has arranged many tunes for me, and in a range of genres stretching from ragtime to classical. He has greatly widened the repertoire of the "light genre" for us guitarists. Which nobody ever did, nor do they do it today. He understands the guitar perfectly both from the standpoint of harmony and the the standpoint of the musician, and this is, it seems, his greatest trump.

It is very difficult to characterize the music of Milan Tesař in it, you can hear blues, jazz, and folk songs, as well as the classical music which arches over the whole thing. I have never met with anything like it anywhere else. His compositions are made for live performing. Their Czechness intrigues me. Milan always says that when he is composing he bears in mind that it must be Czech music, and it must have a rhythmic foundation. And he truly succeeds in this. His music is very interesting, and I can say that I have had great success with it in my concerts.
