Henri J. Bertini, né à Londres en 1798, est mort en 1876. Son frère Auguste, élève de Clementi, lui donna ses premières leçons de piano. Très vite il devint un virtuose apprécié. Le 20 Avril 1828, il participa avec Franz Liszt à l'exécution de la Septième Symphonie en la majeur de Beethoven, dont il avait fait la transcription pour huit mains ! C'est dire la place importante qu'il occupait alors. D'ailleurs, Hector Berlioz lui-même, dans une de ses lettres écrivait qu'il était un grand admirateur du génie d'Henri Bertini et que sa musique ' lui fait battre le coeur énergiquement '. / Piano

Par BERTINI HENRI. The Etudes op. 29 and op. 32 are among Bertini’s best-known and most influential tutorial works. For aspiring pianists there is much to discover: Pieces with interesting harmonies in keys with up to four sharps or flats display various musical characteristics using a range of different rhythms, articulation and dynamics. With teaching notes by editor Ruth Taneda. When Henri Jerôme Bertini, born in 1798 in Lyon, developed into a child prodigy who at the age of twelve was already performing in concerts in Paris and other major cities. Concert tours to the Netherlands and Rhineland region followed. After spending some time in England and Scotland, in 1821 he settled in Paris, where besides teaching piano he performed as a pianist at Parisian salons and went on extended concert tours of the provinces in the summer months. Bertini’s teaching activities through to 1848 inspired his ‘Méthode de Piano’ and a wealth of Etudes (op. 29 and 32, op. 66, op. 100 as well as a Nouvelle Collection d’Études in ten volumes varying in degrees of difficulty). In about 1848 Bertini stopped working as a pianist, composer and teacher, left Paris and retired to the Dauphiné in southeastern France. He died in Meylan near Grenoble on 30 September 1876./ Etude / Piano
