  Carl Czerny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carl Czerny (sometimes Karl; February 21, 1791 July 15, 1857) was an Austrian pianist, composer and teacher.
Czerny was born in Vienna and was first taught the piano by his father before taking lessons from Johann Nepomuk Hummel, Antonio Salieri and Ludwig van Beethoven.
Liszt later dedicated his twelve Transcendental Etudes to Czerny, who was one of the first composers to use etude ("study") for a title.

 Carl Czerny: Teacher & Composer (1791-1857)
Czerny's father, Wenzel Czerny, a pianist, organist, oboist, and singer, was born in Nimburg in 1750, and he received his education and musical training in a Benedictine monastery near Prague.
Czerny describes his childhood as being "under my parents' constant supervision," and he goes on to say that he was "carefully isolated from other children." Although Czerny's earliest piano instruction was with his father, he became the pupil of Krumpholz (whose first name was also Wenzel), a family friend, after a few years.
Czerny's Sonata No. 3 in F minor, Op.57 has been described as "outstandingly original," and the Piano Concerto in C Major, Op.153 for piano four-hands and orchestra is a very interesting example of the late Classical piano concerto combined with the emerging bravura piano technique of the Romantic concerto.

Carl Czerny was so talented that he became a student of Beethoven's and later taught Franz Liszt when he was a recognized piano teacher himself.
He thus stood between two important musical personalities of the 19th c - as a student and then as a teacher - and was a mediator between the generations.
Although many consider Czerny's own compositions too pedagogical and trivial, the stylistic influence he exercised through his works on generations of pianists and composers should not be underestimated.
