Carl Czerny ( German: [karl ˈtʃɛrni] ; 21 February 1791 – 15 July 1857) was an Austrian composer, teacher, and pianist of Czech origin whose vast musical production amounted to over a thousand works. His books of studies for the piano are still widely used in piano teaching.
Carl Czerny was born in Vienna ( Leopoldstadt ) and was baptized in St. Leopold parish. His parents were of Czech origin; his mother was Moravian. His parents spoke Bohemian language with him. Czerny came from a musical family: his grandfather was a violinist at Nymburk , near Prague, and his father, Wenzel, was an oboist, organist and pianist. When Czerny was six months old, his father took a job as a piano teacher at a Polish manor and the family moved to Poland, where they lived until the third partition
A child prodigy, Czerny began playing piano at age three and composing at age seven. His first piano teacher was his father, who taught him mainly Bach and Mozart . He began performing piano recitals in his parents' home. Czerny made his first public performance in 1800 playing Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor .
