The study aims to draw attention to specific stylistic features of the work of Johann Nepomuk Hummel, which is generally thought to be characterised by a certain anachronism, or a one-sided concentration on virtuosity and brilliance. Along with many compositions which correspond to the standard level of contemporary musical thinking and are dominated by virtuoso piano-playing, Hummel composed also a number of works which go beyond this stylistic level, due to their innovative quality and originality in harmony, texture, form and content. These works had an important influence on Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann, Schubert and Liszt. When considering Hummel’s work, one needs to distinguish between the compositional line of the contemporary standard and his supreme works, which are among the supreme opuses in European musical literature.
