Description
This piano transcription by Burgmüller draws on melodies from Meyerbeer's opera Dinorah, also known as Le Pardon de Ploërmel. It preserves the opera's lyrical lines while adding decorative, salon-style flourishes throughout. Running over sixteen minutes, it is a substantial concert piece that conveys the opera's atmosphere even to listeners unfamiliar with the original.
Orchestral and operatic melodies arranged for solo piano, letting listeners enjoy the charm of the original works on a single instrument.

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."
