Losing the spirituality of a Mozart the Viennese school was destined to degenerate into empty bravura playing. Before its downfall it produced a Hummel, a Moscheles and a Czerny, each of whom left in their piano studies a valuable bequest to technique. Every accent of his dramatic music was embodied in his piano compositions. Tones furnished him unmistakably a language that needed no commentary.
There were other eminent players, such as Hummel, Czerny, and Herz, contemporary with Moscheles and belonging to the same genre as a pianist, but these names do not stand forth with the same clear and permanent luster in their relation to the musical art. Ignaz Moscheles was born at Prague, May 30, 1794, his parents being well-to-do people of Hebrew stock.
"His improvisating was most brilliant and striking," wrote Carl Czerny, a pupil of Beethoven. "In whatever company he might be, he knew how to produce such an effect upon the listeners that frequently all eyes would be wet, and some listeners would sob; there was something wonderful in his expressive style, the beauty and originality of his ideas and his spirited way of playing."
May I go on when you've finished writing? 'I suppose so; but when I've quite finished it will be about your bedtime, I said, trying not to feel exasperated. 'Then, may I get up an hour earlier in the morning to practise, Mama, dear? There is something almost unnatural in the way that child fights her way through all obstacles to the piano and the monotony of Czerny.
Czerny, in his autobiography, gives an interesting picture of the devotion of Krumpholz, who attached himself to Beethoven much the same as did Boswell to Dr. Johnson.
That peaceful, sleeping sea awoke to an hour the like to which Ken's Island will never know again. We cast the glove to Edmond Czerny and powder spake our message. Henceforth it was his day or ours, life or death, the gallows or the sea. There were four men upon the rock when the gun began to spurt its vomit of shot across the sea, and two of them fell almost with the first report.
I told him that it was true, and making light of it for I did not wish Miss Ruth to be upset before there was good reason I named another thing. "Yes," said I, "we shall defend ourselves if there's need, and give a good account, I hope. For the rest, we'll take it as we find it. I am trusting that Mister Czerny will listen to common sense and not risk bloodshed.
Grandes Variations de bravoure sur la marche des Puritans de Bellini, composees pour le concert de Madame la Princesse Belgiojoso au benefice des pauvres, par MM. Liszt, Thalberg, Pixis, H. Herz, Czerny et Chopin." Liszt wrote an orchestral accompaniment, never published.
Every day was a flower to pick; the night was music and laughter. How I used to people the world my hopes created such romantic figures they were, such nonsense! When Edmond Czerny met me at Nice, I think he understood me. Oh, the castles we built in the air, the romantic heights we scaled, the passionate folly with which we deceived ourselves!
Czerny he say to them, 'Great much price if you kill the English captain. He know that all his money is locked up down here. Why shall he not come, captain?" I could not tell him why. My own glasses showed me the things he made mention of and others beside. Arms, I saw, were being passed down from the yacht to the small boats clustered about it.
