CARL CZERNY (1791-1857): Die Kunst des Präludierens, Op. 300.

Description: These 120 finely chiseled preludes range from the aphoristic extreme of ten to twenty seconds in length to the just as aphoristically packed narrative and rhapsodic forms of a maximum of three to four minutes. Their numerical midpoint is formed by sixteen very short interludes that are brilliant examples of modulations, each proceeding from C major to all the other major keys. 2 CDs. Kolja Lessing (piano).
