Description

The fifteenth Burgmüller étude unfolds like a dramatic narrative, alternating calm passages with turbulent outbursts. It requires a wide dynamic range and confident shifts in tempo and mood. Longer and more note-dense than most pieces in the set, it builds the stamina and expressive control needed for storytelling at the keyboard.

A set of beginner études by Burgmüller, each bearing an evocative title, offering a classic way to develop technique and musical expression together.

About the Composer

Johann Friedrich Franz Burgmüller (1806-1874)

Johann Friedrich Franz Burgmuller was born in Germany and spent much of his career in Paris, where he composed the ballet La Peri. He is best remembered today for his pedagogical piano collections, especially the 25 Etudes faciles et progressives, Op. 100, whose accessible, tuneful pieces remain popular with beginning pianists. This site includes 26 of these etudes, such as "La Candeur" and "L'Arabesque."
