Carl Czerny Nocturne #4 - Tamriko Siprashvili

Czerny’s piano nocturnes show and maybe anticipate some of the elements presents in Chopin nocturnes, such us the rhythmic fluidity and the intimate character. Chopin stayed with Czerny in Vienna in 1828 and by this time Czerny had composed Nocturnes and Chopin was initiating his Nocturnes cycle. The recent recording, brings new light to the influences that Chopin may have been in the creation his piano Nocturnes. “It’s interesting to note that most of that Nocturnes, written a little before of those by Chopin, are very similar.“ Czerny wrote 3 Nocturnes (before the 8 Nocturnes Op. 368) that did not enter the collection of Isabelle Oehmichen: - Nocturne Brilliant after “Das waren mir selige Tage“, for Piano 4-Hands; Op. 165 - Grand Nocturne Brilliant for Piano 4-Hands and Op. 253 - Le Golfe de Naples, Tableau Nocturne or Fantasie Pittoresque.
