Search - Johann Friedrich Burgmüller, Valery Lloyd-Watts :: Burgmüller -- 25 Progressive Pieces, Op. 100 (CD) (Alfred Masterwork Editions)

Burgmüller's most famous work, the 25 Progressive Pieces, are short compositions with descriptive titles. Easier than his Opp. 105 and 109, each selection exposes students to a different technical challenge with the main emphasis on the phrasing, articulation, and dynamics often found in Romantic piano music. The collection includes ""Arabesque"" and ""Ballade,"" both popular with many early-intermediate pianists.

Virtuoso pianist Valery Lloyd-Watts studied at the Conservatory of Music in Toronto and the Royal College of Music in London. She earned a Master of Music degree from the University of Wisconsin, where she studied with Paul Badura-Skoda. She co-authored the text Studying Suzuki Piano: More than Music, which was endorsed by Dr. Suzuki.
