Czerny Symphony no. 2

Czerny is a nightmare for many pianists. He is very famous for his tedious piano etudes. But not many people realize that he is also a prolific composer. He composed a very large number of pieces (up to Op. 861), including not only piano music (études, nocturnes, 11 sonatas, opera theme arrangements and variations) but also masses and choral music, 6 symphonies, concertos, songs, string quartets and other chamber music.

Here is his symphony no. 2 in D published in 1847. You may notice how similar it is to Beethoven's symphonic works and how conservative he was. It actually sounds much better than his piano etudes.
