Open the sheet music libraryFriedrich Burgmüller (1806-1874)
German-born pianist and composer who spent most of his career in Paris writing music for the ballet stage, largely forgotten today except for one extraordinary exception: his 25 Études faciles, Op. 100, a set of short, vividly characterized studies, "Ballade," "Innocence," "The Storm," written to teach piano technique without ever feeling like homework. Generations of students have met their first real musical challenges through these pieces, most of them probably without knowing anything else about the man who wrote them.

The easiest Burgmüller on the shelf, in order. Nothing here is graded and nobody is ranked: the shelf simply puts the pieces that ask less of your hands before the ones that ask more.
Every Burgmüller score
How the reader works
Each score opens as engraved notation you can read from the stand, and it plays: hear the piece first, then slow it down and loop the bar that is not working. There is nothing to install and no account to make. When you want paper, print it.
Every file is MusicXML, so MuseScore, Sibelius, Finale and Dorico open them too.
Where to go next
If you are learning Burgmüller rather than only reading, the scale pages cover fingering in every key, the chord pages spell out every chord, and the symbol dictionary explains any mark on the page you do not recognise.
