About the piece
The Hunt, ninth of the studies and one of the most immediately appealing, imitates hunting horns through open intervals and a galloping compound rhythm.
It teaches firm, confident chord playing and rhythmic drive, and its unmistakable imagery makes it a favorite with students who respond to music that plainly depicts something.
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.
