About the piece
A fantasy on themes from Bellini, whose operas were among the most loved in Europe in the 1830s and whose long-breathed melodies were a gift to arrangers.
Burgmuller had settled in Paris in 1832, the year Bellini's Norma reached the city, and pieces trading on the operatic successes of the moment were reliable sellers for a composer building a career there.
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.
