Description
No.20, 'La Tarentelle,' from Burgmüller's Op.100 studies evokes the fast Southern Italian tarantella dance. With over eleven hundred notes packed into roughly ninety seconds, it demands nimble fingerwork and precise rhythm, making it a favorite study for building stamina and one of the more technically demanding pieces in the set.
A set of beginner études by Burgmüller, each bearing an evocative title, offering a classic way to develop technique and musical expression together.

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."
