| Added by magataganm, 18 Mar 2024 Carl Czerny (1791 – 1857) was an Austrian composer, teacher, and pianist of Czech origin whose music spanned the late Classical and early Romantic eras. His vast musical production amounted to over a thousand works and his books of studies for the piano are still widely used in piano teaching. He was one of Ludwig van Beethoven's best-known pupils and would later on be one of the main teachers of Franz Liszt. Czerny composed a very large number of pieces (more than one thousand and up to Op. 861). Czerny's works include not only piano music (études, nocturnes, sonatas, opera theme arrangements and variations) but also masses and choral music, symphonies, concertos, songs, string quartets and other chamber music. The better known part of Czerny's repertoire is the large number of didactic piano pieces he wrote, such as The School of Velocity and The Art of Finger Dexterity. He was one of the first composers to use étude ("study") for a title. Czerny's body of works also include arrangements of many popular opera themes. The majority of the pieces called by Czerny "serious music" (masses, choral music, quartets, orchestral and chamber music) remain in unpublished manuscript form and are held by Vienna's Society for the Friends of Music, to which Czerny (a childless bachelor) willed his estate. Czerny can be considered as a father of modern piano technique for generations of pianists, when it is taken into account that many of his students, such as Theodor Leschetizky, Franz Liszt and Theodor Kullak, also became teachers and passed on his legacy. The US music magazine The Etude presented in its issue of April 1927 an illustration (see above) showing how Czerny could be considered the father of modern piano technique and the basis of an entire generation of pianists. In 1842 Czerny published an autobiographical sketch, "Erinnerungen aus meinem Leben" ("Memories from My Life"). Other works by Czerny, apart from his compositions, include: his edition of Johann Sebastian Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier; "Letters to a young lady, on the art of playing the pianoforte" ; his "School of Practical Composition" (published as his Op. 600); his edition of Domenico Scarlatti's sonatas (1840); and "On the proper performance of all Beethoven's works for piano" (1846). Czerny’s musical upbringing had a clear impact on his musical identity. The eleven piano sonatas of this cycle demonstrate the orchestral style of Beethoven, the brilliance and clarity of Hummel and Clementi, and the contrapuntal genius of Bach. Czerny is able to combine these influences into a style that is truly his own: a unique amalgamation of Baroque, Classical, and Romantic styles. Among Carl Czerny’s compositions that merit analysis are his group of eleven piano sonatas, which Czerny carefully designated with their own numbering. Other piano works by Czerny carry the title of sonata, such as his Sonate im Style des Domenico Scarlatti für das Pianoforte, Op. 788, and the Sonate militaire et brillante, Op. 119; however, these pieces show a clear separation due to their length, musical quality and the lack of numbering associated with the group of eleven sonatas. The eleven piano sonatas fall into Czerny’s category of serious music and illustrate Czerny’s genius as a composer of profound formal design.
