Description
No. 6, 'Progrès,' from Burgmüller's '25 Études,' is a cheerful piece built largely on scale-like motion. True to its title, it raises the technical demands a notch from the previous pieces, offering good practice in finger independence and smooth scale playing. Positioned as a test of the fundamentals built up in the first five études, it also requires the concentration to maintain a steady tempo throughout.
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."
