Joseph Czerny
Joseph Czerny (born June 14, 1785 in Hořín , Bohemia , † September 22, 1831 in Vienna ) was an Austrian piano teacher, publisher and composer .
Life
Joseph Czerny taught as a respected piano teacher in Vienna. The composer and pianist Leopoldine Blahetka was one of his best-known students . As the successor to Carl Czerny , with whom he was not related, he also taught Beethoven's nephew Karl . In 1824 he joined the music publisher Cappi & Co. and ran it from 1828 to 1831.
In addition to other piano compositions, Czerny also wrote a variation on a waltz by Anton Diabelli . In 1819 he inspired a total of 50 composers to each perform a variation on their own waltz and published the series of variations in 1824 under the title Vaterländischer Künstlerverein . Ludwig van Beethoven processed this theme in his Diabelli Variations op.120.
He lived most recently in the ditch no. 618, where he died on 22 September 1831 at the age of 46 years "at the exhaustion". The information to be found on various occasions that he did not die until January 7, 1842 is obviously incorrect.
