Burgmuller: Op. 100, no. 19: Ave Maria

This etude really took me back to my roots. In high school, I accompanied the Chorale and played through many four part vocal reductions. I also spent some time as a church organist. This piece is very simple, but so beautiful. Do your best to balance the chords, while carefully listening for the individual voices as they rise and fall. When certain voices are static within the chord, bring out the moving voice.
