Have a look at this CD where Ramiro Schiavoni has recorde 125 (!) of Burgmuller´s studies: However, his brother, Norbert Burgmuller (1810 – 1836) - talk about a neglected and obscure composer! These are not as well known and may be difficult to find. 76 (no.1 - 'Rondoletto' is quite nice) and op.

There are other sets of studies, most notably op. Although he tried to compose non-pedagogical music, it was considered mostly mediocre and derivative. Speaking of Burgmuller, have you seen any other music by Burgmuller that you might recommend? Best Regards, Heller You are welcome The general critical opinion, is that as a composer, his greatest achievements were op.ġ00, 105 and 109. Perhaps someone else can shed some light? Do you find this post useful? Thank you very much Bernhard.
BURGMULLER OP 109 PDF FREE FULL
No 17 March: Full chords No 18 At the Spinning Wheel: A fine study in passage-playing Op 105: Sorry but all I know is that they have no titles as the other 2 sets. Looks more difficult on the page than it is. No 14 Lay of the Gondolier: Lyrical right-hand line with broken chords in the left No 15 Sylphs: Rapid light right-hand figures. Grace-notes No 12 Awakening the Woods: Rapid broken octaves in both hands No 13 The Storm: Helpful in developing control of soft playing and brilliant passagework. No 11 Serenade: Simulation od strummed chords on a guitar. No 10 Velocity: Patterned and rapid right-hand passagework above repeated chord accompaniment. Some playing of countermelodies in the right.Įxpressive and lyrical writting. No 9 Matin Bell: frequent left-hand crossing over right. Needs a relatively large hand span No 7 Lullaby: Voicing of melody over accompaniment No 8 Agitato: Rapid alternation of 16ths between hands. They make a fine material to study prior to the preludes and walzes of Chopin No 1 Confidence: Excellent for teaching voicing of a melody within a single hand No 2 The Pearls: Primarily a study in right-hand scale playing No 3 The Shepherd's Return: Could serve as fine preparation to one of the easier Chopin waltzes No 4 The Gypsies: Appropriate for practising in playing chords No 5 The Spring: A miniature version of the Chopin Etude op25 no 1 No 6 Light-Hearted Maiden: A study in right-hand double notes. They are less difficult to the ones op105. Do you find this post useful? I'm no expert but this is what I have on them: op109: Composed as a sequel to op100 and dedicated to Heller. I have always been a big fan of Burgmuller's Opus 100, but I've never looked at the other two that are supposed to be in the same vein. I can't answer your question, but I've often wondered, and your post made me decide to go buy these (as soon as there is less snow on the ground, anyway). Do you find this post useful? If there is anyone out there who has used these studies, could you be kind enough to please explain what the point of these etudes might be? What kind of techniques etc do they aim at cultivating? Thank you in advance, H. I hope someone else will reply, too because I really know very little about them. Carl Philip Emmanuel est le second fils de Johann Sebastian. What I like about these etudes is that they're also very melodical they are much more than exercises. No.2 has scales.Įach etude consentrates on a certain technical difficulty. I only know that the no.12 from op.109 is good for practising broken octaves and no.
