JOHANN NEPOMUK HUMMEL INTERNATIONAL PIANO COMPETITION Bratislava, Slovakia
WFIMC Member since 1996
Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837), a native of Bratislava, was considered one of Europe’s greatest composers and pianists during his lifetime. He studied with Mozart, Albrechtsberger, Salieri and Haydn. As a composer, Hummel stands on the borderline between epochs. His work embraces virtually all the genres at the turn of century (except symphony) and he is an outstanding representative of virtuoso piano music writing. Stylistically, Hummel’s music connects classical with many proto-Romantic elements. As one of the most renowned representatives of late Classicism, be developed the styles of Clementi, Mozart and Beethoven and portends those of Schubert, Mendelssohn, Chopin, early Liszt and Schumann. The International Johann Nepomuk Hummel Piano Competition would like to keep in memory the message of this great composer and piano virtuoso. At the same time it is the wish of the organizers that this competition will be the starting point of artistic careers of remarkable pianists.
