Friedrich Burgmüller: Andante, Op.105 No.4

Phillip Sear plays a Czerny-like study by the German composer Friedrich Burgmüller (1806-74). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- from 12 études brillantes et mélodiques pour piano, Op. 105 (c. 1853) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The German composer (Johann) Friedrich Burgmüller (1806-74) trained in his own country but moved to France in 1832, and settled there, becoming a French citizen. He was a successful piano teacher and composer of salon pieces and studies. This piece, from Burgmüller&set of 18 characteristic Études, Op 109, strikes me as very similar in musical style to the studies in Czerny&&of Finger Dexterity&Op. 740. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear
