About the piece
A souvenir of Schonbrunn, the Habsburg summer palace outside Vienna, in the waltz-tinged manner that the city's name conjured for nineteenth century audiences.
The souvenir was a recognized genre: a piece evoking a place, sold to people who had visited it or wished to, and functioning much as a postcard would later.
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.
