	Composers' short biographies
		Johann Nepomuk Hummel was born on November 14, 1778 in Preßburg (Poszony in the Hungarian language and Bratislava today), the son of National Theater conductor Johann Hummel.
		Hummel was undoubtedly one of the first great piano virtuosos: audience members reportedly stood on their chairs to watch him execute double trills, much as audiences would stand to watch Vladimir Horowitz play double octaves a century later.
		Hummel’s Concerto, op.17 in G Major for fortepiano, violin and orchestra is an excellent example of the late Viennese classical style, demonstrating the composer’s mastery at every level: chord structure, voice leading, phrase shape, melodic contour, counterpoint, harmonic progression and formal construction.

		Hummel lost this position in 1811, however, because he paid more attention to composing and to the Vienna music scene than to his proscribed tasks.
		Hummel’s followers accused Beethoven of mistreating the fortepiano, said that he had absolutely no purity and clarity of tone, that his use of the pedal only resulted in confused noise and that his compositions were unsuccessful attempts, were unnatural, lacked melody — and in addition to this, were irregular.
		Hummel’s compositions show that his style is very closely tied to the sound and musical possibilities of the pianofortes he knew in Vienna, with their light, fluid, elegant piano style.

		In Johann Nepomuk Hummel's day everyone accepted the composer as a genius on the level of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, and Chopin.
		Hummel may not have possessed raving originality, but his piano sonatas offer much in the way of melodic charm, scintillating virtuosity, and occasional harmonic daring.
		Moreover, Hummel's fluent command of the piano's geography allowed him to stage-manage keyboard effects for maximum impact without upsetting the formal parameters of the classical apple cart.

	ArkivMusic \| Hummel: Piano Sonatas Op 20, 81, 106 / Stephen Hough
		The three sonatas Stephen Hough has selected for this recital not only reveal Johann Nepomuk Hummel as a plausible "missing link" between Beethoven and Chopin, but also as a formidable, creative force in his own right.
		Maybe he's not so memorable a melodist as Chopin nor a protean architect on the level of Beethoven, but Hummel's piano writing still sounds idiomatic and invigorating to modern ears.
		The F-sharp minor sonata's dramatic finale, for instance, allows little respite from its unrelenting broken octaves, taxing runs, and double notes, while the gnarly dotted rhythms, imitative writing, and thick chords permeating the D major sonata's Scherzo evoke the Schumann to come.

		The F sharp minor, Op 81, and D major, Op 106, from 1819 and 1824, are large-scale works, revelling in an early-Romantic virtuosity that was to attract both Chopin and Liszt.
		The four-movement Op 106 is a huge creation of dramatic rhetorical gestures, while the much earlier F minor sonata, Op 20 (1807), gives a taste of the youthful Hummel’s exuberantly Haydnesque style.

		Your respect for old Nepomuk increases dramatically when you realize that he wrote his piano concertos before Chopin ever dreamed of his -- not the other way around.
		So Hummel may well deserve some of the credit for originality that Chopin has been garnering all these years.

		Many years ago there was a CD of Johann Nepomuk Hummel's piano concertos, which became one of the classical, best sellers of all time; and, when word gets out about this release of his complete piano trios it may well share the same distinction.
		The seven included here are each elegant works and very much in the Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart piano trio tradition, which is not surprising considering Hummel studied with him.
		Probably written between 1799 and 1820, they reveal an enormous melodic talent and adherence to classical principles rather than a tendency towards the romantically tempestuous music of Ludwig van Beethoven, which was all the rage at that time.
