Hummel is believed to have received lessons from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and it really shows. His music often has a light-hearted yet fully refined classical sound to it. He is not well-known today for several reasons, but the primary reason is that Hummel's output lacks even a single symphony. Symphonic writing is often considered the most important aspect of a composer's longevity, because orchestras are the vehicles that keep this kind of music alive. Indeed, Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach's fame rests on their huge orchestral output. Alas, few composers have stayed in the spotlight without symphonies. The two principal composers who thwarted this rule are Chopin and Scarlatti, who were able to retain their fame despite their whole-hearted attention to keyboard writing. While Hummel's output is centered on the piano, he actually did write a number of concertos, chamber pieces, and non-keyboard works. Along with Johann Christian Bach, Hummel's place in the history of music is being constantly reevaluated. His importance both as a composer and influence on his contemporaries cannot be denied.

Thanks for your comment. Hummel's early works are indistinguishable from Mozart.
