These etudes offer a good mix of technical challenges and musical expression, which makes them a firm part of the standard repertoire for piano beginners.

The edition from Edition Peters (No. 3101) was edited by Adolf Ruthardt, and many other editions also exist.

The description for the Universal Edition states:

"Friedrich Burgmüller would probably be completely forgotten today if he had not made a name for himself as an experienced pedagogue with etudes that are easy to play but sound brilliant."
