About the piece
The Limpid Stream, seventh of the studies, sets a continuous ripple of notes running through the right hand while a melody emerges from within the texture.
The image of clear flowing water is exact as a technical instruction: the figuration must be perfectly even and unforced, with the melody floating above without disturbing the current beneath it.
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.
