Czerny Anleitung zum Fantasieren a unique recording
If you want insight into the artistry of the 19th Century virtuoso, this disc is for you. It's also for anyone who enjoys short, showy piano pieces. Like me.
Czerny Romantic Piano Fantasies -- entertaining if not elevating
Czerny knew his audience and I'm sure these pieces are as enjoyable to play as they are to listen to. They're definitely great fun -- just not great art.
