The 25 Easy Etudes, Op. 100, by Friedrich Burgmüller (1806–1874) are a well-known collection of piano pieces that are especially popular with piano beginners and students for lessons. The composer succeeds in combining technical problems with appealing musical ideas, which distinguishes him from many other (sometimes) 'drier' etude works.

Short Introduction

Each of the musically and pedagogically valuable etudes focuses on a specific technical aspect or a particular musical idea, making them ideal for developing pianistic skills and a popular teaching material.

The titles of the individual 25 etudes provide inspiration for the player's imagination:

  1. La candeur [Candor] C major

  2. Arabesque A minor

  3. Pastorale [Pastoral] G major

  4. Petite réunion [The Little Gathering] C major

  5. Innocence [Innocence] F major

  6. Progrès [Progress] C major

  7. Courant limpide [The Clear Brook] G major

  8. La gracieuse [The Graceful] F major

  9. La chasse [The Hunt] C major

  10. Tendre fleur [Tender Flower] D major

  11. La bergeronette [The Wagtail] C major

  12. Adieu [Farewell] A minor

  13. Consolation [Consolation] C major

  14. La styrienne [Styrian Dance] G major

  15. Ballade C minor

  16. Douce plainte [Gentle Complaint] G minor

  17. Babillarde [The Chatterbox] F major

  18. Inquitétude [Restlessness] E minor

  19. Ave Maria A major

  20. Tarentelle [Tarantella] D minor

  21. Harmonie des anges [Harmony of the Angels] G major

  22. Barcarolle [Gondola Song] A-flat major

  23. Retour [The Return] E-flat major

  24. L’hirondelle [The Swallow] G major

  25. La chevaleresque [The Knightly Ride] C major

These etudes offer a good mix of technical challenges and musical expression, which makes them a firm part of the standard repertoire for piano beginners.

The edition from Edition Peters (No. 3101) was edited by Adolf Ruthardt, and many other editions also exist.

The description for the Universal Edition states:

"Friedrich Burgmüller would probably be completely forgotten today if he had not made a name for himself as an experienced pedagogue with etudes that are easy to play but sound brilliant."
