About the piece

The Little Gathering, fourth of the twenty five studies, is a sociable, chattering piece whose title suggests a room full of polite conversation. It works on coordination between the hands, with short phrases passed back and forth, and asks the student to keep a light, even touch while the texture shifts between them.

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.
