Johann Friedrich Franz Burgmüller ： 18 Characteristic Studies No.15 Les sylphes Op.109-15

Suggesting the title “Les sylphes,” this étude is marked by light, swift movement and a sense of airy agility. Its delicate stream of notes unfolds in short, shifting phrases, creating the impression of scenes changing one after another. Among its highlights are the accents and dynamic changes that emerge within the flowing passages, as well as its lively rhythmic character. In performance, do not pursue speed alone: aim for clear, even notes and a touch that releases the sound lightly from the keys. Shape the direction of each phrase and carefully balance the melodic line with the accompaniment.
