Chopin and Czerny
The recent recording, made by the french pianist Isabelle Oehmichen, of the cycle of Piano Nocturnes by Carl Czerny, brings new light to the influence that Chopin may have been in the creation of his piano Nocturnes. Czerny´s Nocturnes anticipate some of the elements present in Chopin nocturnes, such us the rhythmic fluidity and the intimate character. Chopin stayed with Czerny in Vienna in 1828 and by this time Czerny had composed his series of Nocturnes and Chopin was initiating his Nocturnes cycle. "It´s interesting to note that most of that Nocturnes, written a little before of those by Chopin, are very similar." Isabelle Oehmichen interview
