Collecting Carl Czerny

[Jean-Séb]

I would say arbitrary. Although they are all female names, many of them seem to be more heroine names in novels rather than in real life.

[Op. XXXIX]

Good evening friends.

Earlier this afternoon my local classical station played Czerny's Grand Sonata in F minor Op 178 for 4 hands. (Tal/Groesthuysen recording.) I was in the car, and tuned in too late to hear the announcement of the piece and composer. I admit I couldn't guess the composer- too many notes for Mozart or even Clementi, and not harmonically sophisticated enough for Schubert. But I was pleasantly surprised that is was Czerny. A fun piece!!

Anyone have the score? I would be curious to have a look at it, not available on IMSLP.
Many thanks!

I've not seen a copy on the net but Edition Kunzelmann has a nice edition in print.

Thank you for the hint, however those had been already circulating. U of K has a big collection, but not comparable to the SBB one.

Where? I have only checked IMSLP so far.

I keep seeing this little Wiener Marsch (Viennese March) by Czerny... is there an opus number or is this just a free-roaming piece?

Czerny enthusiasts should have noticed that this piece : Introduction and Variation Brillantes on Pacini's Gli Arabi Nelle Gallie, Op. 234 has been premiered last year by Naxos.

I am lucky to find that there is a proof copy of this piece in the Sibley Library Collection and requested for it. It will be uploaded earliest by July. Stay tuned for the latest publications by Sibley.
