Freidrich Burgmüller - Etude Op. 109 No. 13 (GSARCI VIDEO VERSION)

Johann Friedrich Franz Burgmüller, generally known as Friedrich Burgmüller (born Regensburg, Germany 4 December 1806 – died 13 February 1874) was a German pianist and composer.

He was born in Ratisbon (now Regensburg) Germany. Both his father, August, and his brother, Norbert, were musicians. His father was a musical theatre director in Weimar and other Southern German centers.

He moved to Kassel in 1829 to study under Ludwig Spohr and Moritz Hauptmann. There he appeared as a pianist for his first concert, January 14, 1830.

Friedrich moved to Paris in 1832 (at age 26), where he stayed until his death. Norbert, his brother, made plans to join him in Paris, in 1835. However, he drowned in a spa in Aachen a year later. In Paris, Friedrich adopted Parisian music and developed his trademark (light) style of playing. He wrote many pieces of salon music for the piano and published several albums. Burgmüller also went on to compose piano études intended for children.

Burgmüller composed piano pieces, waltzes, nocturnes, polonaises and two ballets. His piece, the Peasant Pas de Deux was added to Adolphe Adam's ballet Giselle for its 1841 premiere. This music was originally titled Souvenirs de Ratisbonne.

I play it and it is easy but the speed makes it difficult

[DavidR]

Do some people just not understand the contrast between "pp" and "sf?"

[Phoca_Vitulina]

I usually play this a lot slower and rumbly like thunder so it's interesting to hear it played at a much faster tempo

[MichaelXinSun]

I've seen so many versions of this. This MIDI is still the best. Amazing work!

[ravenpotato]

Am I the only one who got here because I need to play this etude? Only me?

Ok then....

[lukisIVIII]

Evokes memories, one of the best pieces I played in my childhood :)

[archibotgd]

This piece made me to learn Chopin op.28 No.24. Now I can play it

[janageiser]

It was at this moment, when I knew...that I can only play with the video if I turn the speed down to 0.5... How am I supposed to play it THIS FAST, kill meee😂😅😅

[woobieletsplay]

Genialne wykonanie tej etiudy. Chyba najlepsze.

[andreashoppe]

That was one of my favourite pieces as a child

[rivkasotto]

J'adore cette musique et enfin j'en trouve une

[The_Guy_Who_Asked_]

One of the very first pieces I ever learned. So much fun!

[creuzedeterosicleidegomesd]

I used to play this song, but pretty much slower. In my opinion it sounds better.

[MrsMiladye]

C'est vraiment très bien joué d'un point de vue technique (la vitesse est tenue, ... Franchement, chapeau)
Mais, il ne faut pas oublier les nuances qui, pour moi, n'étaient pas si contrastées (or, dans un orage, il y a un côté très doux comme un autre très violent)
Ce n'est que mon point de vue (comme je suis entrain de le jouer, je me suis permise 😊)

[potrowinner]

I HAD A STUDENT WHO WON A CONTEST WITH THIS PIECE AND SHE DID IT VERY SIMILAR
11 YEARS OLD. AMPARO

[adrianborosa]

It sounds hard but it's much easier than you think

[robinmiller]
