Johann Nepomuk Hummel (14 November 1778 – 17 October 1837) was an Austrian composer and virtuoso pianist. His music reflects the transition fromthe Classical to the Romantic musical era. Later 19th century pianistic technique was influenced by Hummel, through his instruction of Carl Czerny wholater taught Franz Liszt. Czerny had transferred to Hummel after studying three years with Beethoven. Hummel's influence can also be seen in the early works of Frédéric Chopin and Robert Schumann, and the shadow of Hummel's Piano Concerto in Bminor as well as his Piano Concerto in A minor can be particularly perceived in Chopin's concertos. This is unsurprising, considering that Chopin musthave heard Hummel on one of the latter's concert tours to Poland and Russia, and that Chopin kept Hummel's piano concertos in his active repertoire.Harold C. Schonberg, in The Great Pianists, writes "...the openings of the Hummel A minor and Chopin E minor concertos are too close to becoincidental".[6] In relation to Chopin's Preludes, Op. 28, Schonberg says: "It also is hard to escape the notion that Chopin was very familiar withHummel's now-forgotten Op. 67,[7] composed in 1815 – a set of twenty-four preludes in all major and minor keys, starting with C major". « hide
