About the piece
The Chatterbox, seventeenth of the twenty five studies, is exactly what its title promises: a stream of quick, insistent notes that never stops talking.
It works on rapid, light repeated figures and a nimble touch, and its comic character gives students an early taste of musical wit, a quality the collection uses often to keep technical work engaging.
The composer
Johann Friedrich Franz 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.
