About the piece
The Sparks, a brilliant salon piece built on rapid, glittering figuration, and a reminder that Burgmuller could write for display as well as for the studio.
Pieces with titles of this kind, promising a specific visual effect in sound, filled the nineteenth century catalogues, and a composer's living often depended on producing them steadily.
The composer
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.
