The variations on Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser from the Große Variation op. 73 for piano and string quartet by Carl Czerny (1791 - Vienna - 1857) is a work from the first quarter of the 19th c. The theme is
Haydn's (Picture) famous Emperor's Hymn. Carl Czerny was so
talented that he became a student of Beethoven's and
later taught Franz Liszt when he was a recognized
piano teacher himself. He thus stood between two important musical
personalities of the 19th c - as a student and then as a teacher - and
was a mediator between the generations. Although many consider Czerny's
own compositions too pedagogical and trivial, the stylistic influence
he exercised through his works on generations of pianists and composers
should not be underestimated. (E. Stadler)
