Piano Music - Johann Nepomuk Hummel

Johann Nepomuk Hummel


1778 - 1837
Johann Nepomuk Hummel was an Austrian composer and virtuoso pianist. He was a pupil of Mozart in his childhood.



📖 "It was a serious moment for me when Beethoven appeared. Was I to try to follow in the footsteps of such a genius? For a while I did not know what I stood on; but finally I said to myself that it was best to remain true to myself and my own nature."
Johann Nepomuk Hummel
Quoted in Bie, A History of the Pianoforte (1899)
