Pedagogical in nature, these editions offer insightful interpretive suggestions, pertinent fingering, and historical and stylistic commentary. Johann Friedrich Burgm]ller (1806-1874) was born into a German musical family; both his father and brother were also well-known composers. Settling in Paris after 1832, his light and intimate playing style won popularity in the salons of the day. Originally titled 25 Études faciles et progressives, composées et doigtées expressément pour l'entendue des petites mains, his Opus 100 pieces are perennial favorites among piano students and their teachers.

The 25 pieces in this book/CD pack have been composed as an alternative or addition to the popular 25 Romantic Studies Op. 100 by good old Friedrich Burgmüller. They are written in twentieth century idioms: rock, swing, Latin, and funk styles are all there, but romance is also present. All the pieces in Beatmüller are meant to be played solo, but the enclosed CD is a perfect tool to help develop the right drive and beat.

An outstanding compilation of piano etudes and exercises from the ever-popular Bürgmuller's 25 Progressive Pieces, Opus 100, Czerny's Practical Method for Beginners on the Piano, Opus 599, and Hanon's The Virtuoso Pianist. Etudes are organized into four units according to difficulty and emphasize different aspects of technique and musicianship. Hanon exercises are included within each unit to reinforce the need for finger strength, independence and agility. Information about each composer's life, music and books is also provided.

While there are many composers who have written excellent piano etudes and exercises, the most famous, popular, and useful etudes are by Johann Friedrich Burgmuller (1806-1874), Carl Czerny (1791-1857), Charles-Louis Hanon (1819-1900) and Stephen Heller (1814-1881). Included in this volume are selected etudes from Burgmuller's "Twenty-five Progressive Pieces, Op. 100", "18 Characteristic Studies, Op. 109", and Hanon's "The Virtuoso Pianist." Etudes by Czerny were selected from Op. 139, Op. 599, Op. 718, Op. 823, and Op. 849. Brief biographies of the composers and practicing hints from Ingrid Clarfield are included.

32 piano studies selected for technique and musicality. The etudes are organized into units acccording to specific technical concepts. Each unit contains etudes that emphasize different aspects of technique andf musicianship.

Johann Friedrich Burgmuller (1806-1874) published several albums of piano studies that have become standard works. This collection consists entirely of 25 Progressive Pieces, Op. 100. Mr. Schaum has renamed some of the exercises with appealing titles and purposely abridged some of the exercises thereby avoiding stiffness and tension. Using the Burgmuller-Schaum exercises will improve piano technic when used in conjunction with a program of balanced piano repertoire.
