The French pianist and composer Henri Bertini (1798-1876) began his career as a child prodigy, and later duetted with Liszt, but made his name as a teacher and composer of around 500 studies.  It is fascinating to see a set of preludes, clearly influenced in form by those written by Chopin just four years earlier, but written by a man born only a year after Schubert.
