 | | At one party Hummel left the connoisseurs in awe as he improvised a long suite of waltzes based on themes from a concert earlier that evening, climaxing with a grand fugue in waltz time. |
 | | Hummel, now without rivals as a pianist (Beethoven could no longer perform), and with an excellent reputation as a composer, toured almost every year during the 1820s and early 1830s, ranging throughout Europe, from Russia to Britain and France. |
 | | Hummel's reputation was eclipsed for many decades, and even now, with a substantial revival, he is still best known for the Piano Concertos in A minor, Op.85, and in B minor, Op.89. |
