La Tarantelle, Op. 100, No. 20

Sheet music for La Tarantelle, Op. 100, No. 20 by Friedrich Burgmüller. From the album Twenty-five Progressive Pieces, this tarantella-rondo is one of the most ambitious in the collection. After an eight-measure introduction, the fast main theme provides students with excellent practice in finger substitution on the right hand, plus a variety of harmonies on the left. A central episode in the parallel major key introduces staccato and grace notes, before the return of the main theme. Students will also get plenty of practice with first and second endings. 3 pages.
