Carl Czerny (German:[ˈtʃɛʁniː]; 21 February – 15 July )[1] was an Austrian composer, teacher, and pianist of Czech origin whose music spanned the late Classical and early Romantic eras.
His vast musical production amounted to over a thousand works and his books of studies for the piano are still widely used in piano teaching. He was one of Ludwig van Beethoven's best-known pupils and would later on be one of the main teachers of Franz Liszt.
