Description
The fourteenth Burgmüller étude evokes a folk dance from Austria's Styria region. Its lilting three-beat waltz rhythm calls for a balance of elegance and lightness. Compact yet full of dance-like energy, it is a solid intermediate exercise for rhythmic precision.
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."
