Miroslav Kubička has signed numerous orchestral, lyric and choral pieces but he is also an author of many chamber compositions. His Symphony for Full Orchestra from 1977 - 1980 received a considerable reception. Among other significant compositions is the Piano Concerto No. 2 (1984 - 1986) written for a pianist Ivan Klánský. Other Kubička's relevant piece was performed at the festival "Prague Premieres 2005" - Three Frescos, a piece for mixed and children's (women's) chorus, organ and percussion on the texts of old Czech poetry was composed to answer the request of abbe Georges Durand and it symbolizes the alliance of three cultural centres of Europe: Avignon, Bologna and Prague. It was first performed in July 2002 in Avignon. From his chamber creations the one-movement string quintet The Chats (1982) is worth attention; out of his recent works we choose Quartet in C Major for flute, violin, violoncello and piano (2000 - 2001).
Double Concerto for Violin, Piano and Orchestra was composed on the prompting of Silvie Hessová and Daniel Wiesner in 2006 - 2008. It is a celebration of friendship between kindred spirits as the make their way together though life on earth. The composition flows in a single stream, although it is clearly divided into slow variations and an energetic, brisk sonata part.
