Friedrich Kalkbrenner (1784-1849) - Étude op. 143 no. 6 in F# Major

Friedrich Kalkbrenner is one of most underrated romantic piano composers nowadays. It was considered a bit old fashioned by the 30's and 40's generation in the XIXth century, because he started his career in the 10's-20's; but it was one of the most powerfull and influential musicians in the romantic period in Paris. Furthermore he has been one of the first romantic piano virtuosos ever: Chopin thought Kalkbrenner was the best pianist alive in their time.

Despite some topics, Kalkbrenner's music is good enough to have one listen or two. Or three... Let's see what do you think about that study for piano. We can see here the influence he had in the young Chopin, specially in his "Tristesse" etude op. 10 no. 3.
