The most comprehensive set on record of the sonatas by a pivotal figure in the English Classical piano school, including several first recordings.
Johann Baptiste Cramer (1771-1858) was identified by the influential pedagogue Edward Dannreuther as ‘one of the fathers of the church of pianoforte playing’. Born in Germany, he moved as a child to London with his family – his father Wilhelm was a violinist and conductor – and took lessons with a notable émigré of a previous generation, Muzio Clementi.
Cramer came to follow in his teacher’s footsteps, as both a pianist and a publisher. At one stage, his books of studies were scarcely less popular than the examples of Carl Czerny. He spent a good deal of time on the Continent, including in Vienna, where he won the friendship and admiration of Beethoven. In turn, Cramer became the English publisher of the composer’s Fifth Piano Concerto, and was probably responsible for its lasting nickname as the ‘Emperor’.
Cramer’s own music is scantily represented on record by a few albums of studies, a concerto here and a sonata there. But as Simone Pierini demonstrates, Cramer’s sonatas exhibit impressive variety, chronicling both his development as a composer and the technical evolution of the piano in the late-Classical and early-Romantic eras. He composed as many as 200 sonatas between 1790 and 1830, and Pierini presents a representative selection. They belong to the world of Clementi and Dussek but also Beethoven and Chopin in their elegant minuets, their minor-mode expressions of pathos and their virtuosic flourishes written to show off the skill but also the musicianship of any executant.
Anyone with an interest in early-Romantic piano music will find Cramer’s sonatas a delightful discovery. No stranger to the Brilliant Classics catalogue, Simone Pierini plays them on three fortepianos of the period, by Conrad Graf, Joseph Hasselman and Matthias Müller. He also contributes a full and illuminating booklet essay on Cramer’s life and work.
