Johann Friedrich Burgmller (1806-1874) was born into a German musical family; both his father and brother were also well-known composers. Settling in Paris after 1832, his light and intimate playing style won popularity in the salons of the day. Originally titled25 tudes faciles et progressives, composes et doigtes expressment pour l’entendue des petites mains, his Opus 100 pieces are perennial favorites among piano students and their teachers.
