About the piece
Tender Flower, tenth of the twenty five studies, is a study in delicacy. Everything about it asks for restraint: quiet dynamics, a singing legato, and careful voicing of a simple melody.
Pieces like this one are why the collection has endured. It gives a young player something genuinely expressive to shape at a stage when most exercise material offers nothing of the kind.
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.
