Description
The ninth étude from Burgmüller's Op.100 collection evokes a hunting scene with horn-like motifs and galloping rhythms. Dotted rhythms and crisp octaves drive the piece forward with real momentum, despite its brief duration. It is a favorite for building a powerful touch and a strong sense of rhythm as students move from beginner to intermediate repertoire.
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."
