No.11 La Bergeronnette
Description
This eleventh Burgmüller étude paints the light, hopping movements of a wagtail bird. Though barely twenty seconds long, it demands crisp staccato and quick finger action delivered with unwavering precision. A short but focused study for developing a bouncing, buoyant touch.
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."
