About the piece
Consolation, thirteenth of Burgmuller's studies, sets a warm, reassuring melody over a steady accompaniment of repeated chords.
The technical lesson is balance: the repeated chords must stay soft and even so that the melody can sing through them, a skill that transfers directly to the Romantic repertoire the student is being prepared for.
The composer
Johann Friedrich Franz 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.
