Johann Friedrich Franz Burgmüller, generally known as Friedrich Burgmüller (1806 - 1874) was a German pianist and composer. He was born in Regensburg, Germany. His father was a musical theatre director in Weimar and other Southern German centers. After years of studies with Ludwig Spohr and Moritz Hauptmann, Burgmüller moved to Paris in 1832, where he stayed until his death. There, he adopted Parisian music and developed his style of playing. He wrote many salon pieces for the piano and published several albums. Burgmüller also went on to compose piano études intended for children. They are popular to this day and often played. Contents:
