Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Carl Czerny: Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 214

Carl Czerny (1791 – 1857) was extraordinarily productive, composing over 1,000 works, many of them for the piano during a period of great change for the instrument. Physical frailty and a growing disinterest in performing in public resulted in him staying in Vienna where he was able to maintain contact with Hummel, Clementi, Chopin and Beethoven’s intimate circle.

It is unclear how many piano concertos Czerny composed but this is certainly the best known and most attractive. It is in the usual three movements with the first in binary form with the dramatic piano entrance, a monothematic second movement and a concluding rondo. (Recorded in Vienna in 1968)

Ferdinand Ries: Piano Concerto in C sharp minor, Op. 55

Like Czerny, Ferdinand Ries (1784 – 1838) was prolific. His output included 8 symphonies, 26 string quartets and a large body of piano music including 8 piano concertos. The third in C sharp minor, was dedicated to fellow virtuoso Muzio Clementi and is his best-known work.

The concerto’s eventful first movement is generically romantic rather than Beethovenesque. The teachers’ influence can be heard more in the entrance of the piano in the bold chordal assertions. The delicate and introverted second movement ends not in the original key but in preparation for the finale with its sprightly theme in a major key. The concerto ends surprisingly in a reassertion of C sharp minor.
