They blend the traditional [[sonata form]] elements with Baroque elements, such as the use of [[fugato]], and free forms of fantasy. Recordings of these sonatas have been made by [[Martin Jones (pianist)|Martin Jones]], [[Anton Kuerti]] and [[Daniel Blumenthal (pianist)|Daniel Blumenthal]].

Czerny's piano [[nocturne]]s show some of the elements present in Chopin nocturnes, such as the rhythmic fluidity and the intimate character. Chopin met Czerny in Vienna in 1828 and may have been influenced by his nocturnes.

Czerny composed approximately 180 pieces that bear the title "Variations". Among them is ''La Ricordanza'', Op 33, which [[Vladimir Horowitz]] recorded. Czerny used not only his own themes but themes from other composers as well, including [[Daniel Auber]], [[Ludwig van Beethoven]], [[Vincenzo Bellini]], [[Anton Diabelli]], [[Gaetano Donizetti]], [[Joseph Haydn]], [[Heinrich Marschner]], [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]], [[Niccolò Paganini]], [[Gioachino Rossini]], [[Franz Schubert]], [[Carl Maria von Weber]] and many others. These works range from solo piano pieces to piano pieces for four, six, and eight hands, with some variations having optional accompaniment of orchestra or string quartet. Czerny sometimes combined his variations with other genres, such as fantasy, rondo, or impromptu.

Czerny was one of 50 composers who wrote a ''[[Variation (music)|Variation]] on a theme of [[Anton Diabelli]]'' for Part II of the ''[[Vaterländischer Künstlerverein]]'' (published 1824). He also wrote a [[Coda (music)|coda]] to round out the collection. Part I was devoted to the 33 variations supplied by Beethoven, his ''[[Diabelli Variations]]'', Op. 120. Together with Liszt, Chopin, [[Henri Herz]], [[Johann Peter Pixis]] and [[Sigismond Thalberg]], Czerny was a contributor to the compendium set of variations for piano, ''[[Hexameron (musical composition)|Hexameron]]'' (1837).
