Burgmuller: Op. 100, no. 22: Barcarolle

Burgmüller Op. 100, no. 22 Barcarolle
Burgmüller had a talent for writing music that falls easily into the fingers, but I admit that I struggled a bit to memorize this etude. I took liberty with the introduction by adding pedal, with the goal of heightening the contrast when the legato melody arrives against the detached left hand chordal accompaniment. Be careful not to rush; keep the tempo nice and relaxed.
