Johann Nepomuk Hummel is a key figure of the transition period between Viennese classicism and Romanticism: a pupil of Mozart, a contemporary of Beethoven, and a model for the composers of the next generation, especially Chopin. He was not only a composer but also one of the greatest virtuoso pianists of that time, who gave enormously successful concerts all over Europe, and wrote one of the most important piano tutors of the first half of the 19th century (Ausführlich theoretisch-practische Anweisung zum Pianoforte Spiel). The majority of the pieces that feature in this collection are from that piano tutor.Johann Nepomuk Hummel ist eine Schlüsselfigur der Übergangsepoche zwischen der Wiener Klassik und der Romantik: Er war Schüler von Mozart, Zeitgenosse von Beethoven und das Vorbild der nachfolgenden Generation,vor allem von Chopin. Er war nicht nur Komponist, sondern einer der größten Klaviervirtuosen seiner Zeit, dessen Kunst europaweit gefeiert wurde. Er schrieb eine der wichtigsten Klavierschulen in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts: Ausführlich theoretisch-practische Anweisung zum Pianoforte Spiel. Der Großteil der Stücke in dieser Sammlung stammt aus dieser Klavierschule.Johann Nepomuk Hummel est une figure clé de la période de transition entre classicisme viennois et romantisme : il fut l'élève de Mozart, le contemporain de Beethoven, et un modèle pour les compositeurs de la génération suivante, notamment Chopin.

Mozart’s final three symphonies were composed, according to Mozart’s autograph Verzeichnüß, in the space of a few weeks, from late June to early August 1788. During that year the 11-year-old Hummel was a resident pupil of Mozart and would have been a daily witness to the creation of these foundational works of the Western musical canon. There is an almost total lack of documentary evidence concerning the circumstances of these works, however, which has led to considerable speculation as to their origins, early performances and reception. There are three plausible scenarios for the genesis of these symphonies: that they were written for a series of subscription concerts scheduled for autumn 1788; that Mozart wrote them with the (unfulfilled) intention of publication as an opus; that they may have been prepared in advance of Mozart’s projected visit to London with his British friends the Storace family, Thomas Attwood and Michael Kelly (again unfulfilled). A contemporaray review in The Harmonicum (1823) of Hummel’s piano arrangements of these works notes, approvingly, that they show his perfect knowledge of the instrument and his nice [= fastidious] discrimination in selecting the most effective parts from the score in those places where the whole could not be taken.

Bertold Hummel composed the Concerto for Bassoon and String Orchestra first with the basset horn as solo instrument before arrangingit for bassoon at the suggestion of Eberhard Buschmann. The piece is characterized by the use of French folk-song melodies which areintegrated into their own thematic material. In the first movement, Prologue, the solo instrument stands out while declaiming in a recitative-like manner. The second movement, Concerto, follows the meaning of the word 'concertare' = 'compete' by combining the soloist and the string ensemble 'competitively' to form a unified whole. The short epilogue is a fading away, with strictly alternating solo instrument and strings. Bassoon with piano reduction.
