Johann Friedrich Burgmüller

2 Etudes op. 100

The ANACROUSE collection offers novice and experienced pianists alike a wide choice of classical works, from the Renaissance to the modern era.

We have set ourselves the goal of offering both "must-haves" from the classical repertoire and pieces by sometimes forgotten composers, all of undeniable pedagogical value. Each piece, sold individually, has been the subject of careful editorial work, both in terms of the musical text and its engraving, in order to guarantee musicians the conditions essential to the pleasures derived from frequent trade in these works.

The scores are offered in traditional book form (paper sheets), and also available by download.



L'Harmonie des Anges and Arabesque are two small pieces from J.F.Burgmüller's progressive study book opus 100. The first is written in the key of G major and adopts a tripartite ABA form with coda. It is characterized by an uninterrupted flow of triplets, skilfully distributed in both hands. The second, shorter piece follows the same structure, but differs in its melodic, rhythmic and harmonic elements. Easy and pleasant to decipher, these two little studies are among the most famous in the book, and are usually played by all budding pianists.
