Happy New Year to all Hummel lovers!

:)

I just found an interesting tid-bit on Hummel while searching for
Hummel-Czerny relations:

http://www.oehmsclassics.de/cd.php?formatid=199&sprache=eng

Contains some nice quotes from historical texts. I am looking for
Czerny's diary, does anyone know whether it's ever been published?

I want to prove to a "sceptic" that Czerny ran away (temporarily)
from Beethoven's slovenly night pots to take lessons with Hummel.
So far, I have it only from one source (Schonberg's "Great
Pianists"), but an original document such as perhaps in the diary of
Czerny would help, too!

I am also looking for Ferdinand Hiller's diary, and was wondering
whether that was ever published.

Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks.

Lots of good wishes for new Hummel CDs in 2007!
