Friedrich Burgmüller grew up in Germany in a very musical family. His father, Friedrich August Burgmüller and his younger brother Norbert Burgmüller were also composers. His mother was the pianist and singer Therese von Zandt. Burgmüller lived in Paris in the 1830s. He mainly composed salon music for piano such as fantasias, variations and waltzes. His piano studies op. 100, 105 and 109 are particularly worthy of mention, even today remaining popular in piano tuition. The great waltz on the opera ‘Dinorah ou Le pardon de Ploërmel’ by Giacomo Meyerbeer was published by Schott in 1859 (plate number 15730), in the year of the opera’s first performance.
