Burgmüller - Etude Op. 105 No. 6 "L'heure du soir"

This etude deals primarily with 4-3-2-1 right hand repeated notes and octave tremolos. Both the repeated notes and tremolos should remain rhythmic and clear throughout, never losing their rhythmic integrity, which is much easier to do on a grand piano than an upright! The inner sections also feature swirling right hand arpeggios, which require a nice circular wrist technique to accomplish smoothly. • Grade Level: Early Advanced (Approx. RCM 8 / ABRSM 7-8) • Technical Focus: Repeated Notes, Tremolos ✍️ About the Composer Johann Friedrich Burgmüller (1806–1874) was a Romantic-era German composer and pianist, primarily known for his pedagogical piano works. His short character etudes are widely celebrated and still used by piano teachers to this day. While his 25 Easy and Progressive Studies (Op. 100) are his most famous, the more obscure 12 Études brillantes (Op. 105) from which this piece comes from are considered his most challenging set of etudes, and were written to prepare students for the demands of the great Romantic virtuosos like Liszt and Chopin.
