Burgmüller, a German composer, was born in Germany in 1806 and died in France in 1874. His main work is a ballet titled "The Fairies," but he composed a large number of piano pieces and songs. The 100th piece in this collection includes 25 advanced etudes. Due to its combination of musicality,, and technicality, it is a highly favored collection of piano pieces. Each piece in this collection is titled, helping students understand the content and emotions of the music, and enriching the imagination of the performer. The techniques and textures used are quite simple, with a compact structure, which allows students to enhance their musical interest and expressiveness while practicing somewhat monotonous etudes. The difficulty level of this collection is approximately equivalent to completing the latter half of the first half of Czerny's Op. 599. The editor has provided simple analyses and annotations for each piece in the collection, covering their musical character, form, and technical points.
