Hummel: Chamber Music

As a pupil of Mozart and contemporary of Beethoven, Hummel was esteemed for the elegance of both his playing and his music. His tone was clear and pure, his touch accurate, equal and refined, and Goethe is said to have remarked that ‘Hummel handles the piano as Napoleon handles the world.’

Composer: Johann Nepomuk Hummel

Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837) was an Austrian composer and virtuoso pianist. His music reflects the transition from the Classical to the Romantic musical era. He was one of the most celebrated and successful composers of his time. The name of Hummel usually is related to two other musical giants of his period: Mozart and Beethoven. Hummel was a pupil of the former and a rival of the later, both being piano virtuosos in Vienna. Hummel’s piano style is influenced by Mozart in its adherence to the Classical Viennese Style and the grace and charm of his melodies. Beethoven’s influence is seen in the dramatic and sometimes stormy character of his music, whereas Hummel himself invented and developed his own personal pianism of unprecedented virtuosity and brilliance, which had great influence on piano composers after him (Chopin, Liszt and Schumann).

Music should bestow greatness and cleanse the human’s soul and infuses love, beauty and glory to soul. The contents and verse of the music should be a creator of pure love, greatness, lightness and depth and not corruption, meanness and absurdity. This is true music. 💛💕

Wow a student of Mozart. You can hear his influences, but Hummel definitely established his own style.
