Biography

A student of Mozart, Hummel was one of the greatest pianists of the early 19th century and a serious rival to Beethoven in Viennese musical life. His piano writing emphasizes brilliance, elegance, and clarity of ornament over Beethovenian drama. His Piano Sonata in F# minor (Op. 81) is his most ambitious work and a bridge between Classical and Romantic keyboard style. His piano method (1828) was enormously influential on technique.
