Following on the heels of Moscheles and Herz, this time it\\u2019s Kalkbrenner, another of those virtuosi hugely acclaimed in their time and now forgotten. Kalkbrenner\\u2019s music bridges the gap between the classical and romantic styles and such was his fame that his presence in Paris resulted in that city becoming the pianistic centre of the romantic movement in the 1830s with Chopin, Liszt and Thalberg all basing themselves there; indeed Chopin originally planned to study with the older composer, only declining when Kalkbrenner told him he must not play in public for three years while under his tutelage.\\r\u003cbr\u003eBoth concertos are very much of their time, bursting with scales, arpeggios, thirds and octaves in their outer movements and lavishly decorated operatic \\u2018bel canto\\u2019 melodies in their slow movements.
