About this ebook
In the annals of piano literature, Carl Czerny's "The Pianist in the Classical Style, Op. 856," stands as a monumental achievement, both in its comprehensive scope and in its meticulous construction. Composed in 1857, this work comprises 48 Preludes and Fugues in all major and minor keys, reflecting Czerny's deep admiration for the fugue form, a sentiment undoubtedly nurtured by his thorough study of Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier."
Czerny, a pivotal figure in the bridge between the Classical and Romantic eras, was not only a student of Beethoven but also a teacher to Franz Liszt. His influence extends far beyond his own compositions, as he played a critical role in shaping the pedagogical landscape of piano playing. His "Op. 856" is a testament to this, integrating the principles of Baroque counterpoint with the 'galant' style of the early 19th century. The result is a collection that resonates with the past while distinctly belonging to its own time.
The Preludes and Fugues in this opus demonstrate Czerny's ingenuity in reinvigorating a form that was beginning to lose favor among contemporary audiences. He infused the rigid structure of the fugue with Romantic sensibilities, incorporating pianistic devices of his own invention. This combination of old and new creates a unique listening experience that is both familiar and fresh, showcasing Czerny's skill as a composer.
