25 Progressive Pieces

Burgmueller's most famous work, 25 Progressive Pieces, are short compositions with descriptive titles. Easier than his Opp. 105 and 109, each intermediate-level selection exposes students to a different technical challenge with the main emphasis on the phrasing, articulation, and dynamics often found in Romantic piano music. The collection includes: Inquietude; Consolation; Gracefulness; The Farewell; Ballade; Tarantelle; Angels' Voices; Barcarolle; Pastorale; The Return; The Wagtail; The Clear Stream; Progress; The Chatterbox; The Little Party; The Knight Errant; Innocence; Sincerity; Ave Maria; Arabesque; The Chase; Sorrow; Tender Flower; The Swallow and Austrian Dance.
