JavaFX 3D: Rotating PerspectiveCamera using keyboard ends up changing camera's view

Question

I want to be able to rotate a perspective camera using the WASD keys. Pressing the W and S keys should rotate the camera along the X axis, and pressing the A and D keys should rotate it along the Y. In an attempt to do this I created a class called RotateCamera that extends the PerspectiveCamera class and includes methods I made to rotate the camera. This way mostly works, but I find if I first move the camera forward using the up arrow key, and then spam the W key so that the camera rotates 360 degrees, when the sphere comes back in view it is very far away, and moving the camera using the arrow keys seems to move it in random directions. I was wondering why this is/how to fix it? A copy of my classes is below.

package ui;

import javafx.scene.PerspectiveCamera;
import javafx.scene.transform.Rotate;
import javafx.scene.transform.Transform;

/**
 * A PerspectiveCamera that includes methods which allow it to be rotated
 */
public class RotateCamera extends PerspectiveCamera {
    Transform currTransform;

    /**
     * Constructor
     * Creates a new camera with default Rotate transform
     */
    public RotateCamera() {
        currTransform = new Rotate();
    }

    /**
     * Rotates the camera along the x-axis according to the given angle
     * @param angle the amount of degrees the camera is rotated
     */
    public void rotateInX(int angle) {
       Rotate newRotation = new Rotate(angle, Rotate.X_AXIS);
       rotateCam(newRotation);
    }

    /**
     * Rotates the camera along the y-axis according to the given angle
     * @param angle the amount of degrees the camera is rotated
     */
    public void rotateInY(int angle) {
        Rotate newRotation = new Rotate(angle, Rotate.Y_AXIS);
        rotateCam(newRotation);
    }

    /**
     * Applies both the currTransform and given rotation to the camera
     */
    private void rotateCam(Rotate rotation) {
        currTransform = currTransform.createConcatenation(rotation);
        getTransforms().clear();
        getTransforms().addAll(currTransform);
    }
}
