About the piece
Progress, the sixth of the twenty five studies, takes its title from its function: it is a study in running scale passages that move between the hands, testing whether earlier lessons have taken hold.
Burgmuller keeps the musical interest high enough that the drill never feels like a drill, which is the central virtue of the whole collection.
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.
