No.7 Le Courant Limpide
Description
No. 7, 'Le Courant Limpide,' from Burgmüller's '25 Études,' paints the image of a clear, babbling stream through its flowing right-hand figuration, supported by a modest left-hand accompaniment. It offers good practice in relaxed, smooth repeated notes and shaping dynamics like the rise and fall of flowing water. Despite its short duration, it demands a delicate touch that shades subtle dynamic changes while keeping the figuration steady.
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."
