Composer Biography
Johann Nepomuk Hummel, the composer, was a child prodigy who began his career as an international virtuoso at the age of nine and was a pupil of Mozart.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Hummel's compositional style uniquely bridges the court music of Mozart's serenades and divertimenti with the 'modern' music of Beethoven, Rejcha, and Weber.
Performer Biography
The Czech Nonet, one of the oldest chamber ensembles in the world, was founded in 1924 by students of the Prague Conservatory.
Compositional Technique
Hummel often blended strings and winds with ease, utilizing winds for their unique sound colors and different ways of producing sound.
Performer Biography
Pavel Hůla, the artistic director of Praga Camerata, has performed in over 2,800 concerts in 30 countries with the Kocian Quartet since 1975.
Critical Reception
Hummel's extensive body of work was largely overlooked for nearly two centuries, overshadowed by Beethoven and Schubert.
