About the piece
Studies from Hummel's late years, drawing on the same pedagogical thinking as his celebrated piano method.
He was among the most sought-after teachers in Europe, and his approach, emphasizing clarity, evenness and a light, precise touch suited to the instruments of his day, shaped a generation of players before the heavier technique demanded by Liszt and the modern piano took hold.
The composer
Johann Nepomuk Hummel
1778–1837
Johann Nepomuk Hummel was an Austrian composer and pianist. His music reflects the transition from the Classical to the Romantic musical era. He was among Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri’s best students. He also studied under Joseph Haydn. Hummel significantly influenced later piano music of the nineteenth century, particularly in the works of Frédéric Chopin, Franz Liszt, and Felix Mendelssohn.
