Friedrich Burgmüller
25 Etudes op. 100
Friedrich Burgmüller’s 25 Etudes op. 100 from 1851 are an indispensable part of piano instruction. Their charm lies in the fact that they do not present themselves as mundane finger exercises, but as pieces with evocative titles such as “L’Arabesque” or “L’Hirondelle” (The Swallow). For the Henle edition, the renowned piano pedagogue Melanie Spanswick has written short commentaries to explain the character and technical particularities of the individual etudes. She has carefully supplemented the composer’s original fingerings with additional indications. This Urtext edition also presents for the first time musically expanded versions, which Burgmüller presumably wrote down only after the work had been printed. So, even with these popular exercises there is new territory to discover!
