Beschreibung

A monumental journey through all keys — tradition meets Romantic brilliance.
Carl Czerny (1791–1857), student of Beethoven and teacher of Liszt, created The Pianist in the Classical Style, Op.856 (1857) as an ambitious cycle of 48 Preludes and Fugues covering every major and minor key. Inspired by Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier yet infused with 19th-century pianistic innovation, this collection bridges Baroque counterpoint and Romantic virtuosity.
Each Prelude and Fugue pair combines clear contrapuntal writing with expressive Romantic gestures and pianistic textures. Czerny reimagines the fugue for his own era — honoring tradition while exploring new harmonic colors, dramatic contrasts, and refined keyboard technique. The result is both intellectually rich and pianistically rewarding.
