About the piece

Melodic Flowers, a set of salon miniatures from the side of Burgmuller's output that has been almost entirely forgotten, overshadowed by the teaching studies. He was a working composer in Paris who wrote ballet music, opera fantasies and drawing-room pieces to earn a living. The studies that made his name permanent were, in his own time, a small part of what he produced.

Friedrich Burgmüller
1806–1874

Johann Friedrich Franz Burgmüller, generally known as Friedrich Burgmuller was a German pianist and composer during the Romantic period. He is perhaps best known for his three collections of children's etudes for the piano, particularly his Op. 100 "25 Études faciles et progressives" for early intermediate students. The other two collections, for more advanced students, were Op. 105 and 109.
