The special value and the greatness of Czernys serious compositions becomes evident with amazing clarity in the present Sonata No. 4 Op. 65. Currently the larger part of the forgotten treasure lies in the archives of the Society of the Friends of Music in Vienna, who became heir to the legacy of the wealthy composer, pianist and teacher of future generations of pianists. Czerny created this particularly multifaceted work deliberately as a significant composition, to prove his competence to the performer and the public, and he did not fail in his mission. The final movement promises an extra portion of joyous playing and rightfully holds the indication scherzando. Yet any performer bold enough to approach this sonata without the right training in dexterity and velocity (to be obtained by studying the well-known methods of the maestro) is ill-advised.
