AMEB:

Who Was Johann Friedrich Franz Burgmüller?

Johann Friedrich Franz Burgmüller (1806–1874) was a German-born pianist and composer, best known for his piano studies, especially his "25 Easy and Progressive Studies, Op. 100." He was born in Regensburg, Germany, and later moved to Paris, where he spent most of his life. In Paris, he became a prominent figure in the city's musical scene, both as a teacher and a composer.

Burgmüller's piano studies are still widely used in piano pedagogy today, valued for their musicality as well as their educational content. These studies focus on various technical challenges, but also contain expressive elements, making them both instructive and enjoyable to play. This has ensured their continued popularity as educational material for beginning and intermediate piano students.

In addition to his educational pieces, Burgmüller also composed other works, including dance pieces and salon music, but it is primarily for his educational works that he remains well-known today.
