About the piece
An album of folk song arrangements by Diederich Krug, a German composer who produced teaching material and transcriptions in quantity.
Setting well known tunes at an easy level was sound pedagogy as well as good business: a student who already knows the melody can concentrate on how to play it rather than on working out how it goes.
The composer
Diederich Krug
1821–1880
Diederich Krug was a German pianist and composer. He was born in Hamburg and studied under Jacob Schmitt. He wrote a large number of pieces for piano, around 350 in all, which were popular with amateur pianists. Typical examples are gathered in the Pianoforte-Album which appeared as No. 1220 in the Collection Litolff; it contains eight works: Chant d'Adieu, Le petit Chevalier, Einsames Haideblümchen, La petite Coquette, Minnelied, Tyrolienne, Der Wachtelruf, and Impromptu-Romance.
