{"product_id":"carl-czerny-piano-music-vol-2","title":"Carl Czerny: Piano Music, Vol. 2","description":"The Viennese-born Carl Czerny (1791-1857) is best remembered for his countless pedagogical studies, hundreds and hundreds of them. But his astonishing fecundity - his opus numbers go up to 861, and there is much more music than that - has obscured the fact that he was an important composer in his own right, his works forming a link between Beethoven (his teacher) and Liszt (his student), between the Classical and Romantic eras. The four pieces recorded here - two for two pianos and two for piano four-hands - were intended to impress the salons of Biedermeier Vienna. The titles of three of them contain the word 'brillant': Czerny's intention was to dazzle and entertain, and that's just what this sparkling music does.","brand":"Toccata","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":51706074824984,"sku":"5060113447913","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4484361-3505428.jpg?v=1777478377","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/carl-czerny-piano-music-vol-2","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
