Burgmuller: Op. 100, no. 9: The Chase

Burgmüller Op. 100, no. 9 The Chase
Use of the proper fingering in the right hand octaves (5,1,2,5,1,2,etc.) while maintaining focus on the left hand as it navigates its various intervals makes this a comparatively difficult piece. The two contrasting sections are much easier; be sure to bring out their mournful quality in contrast to the jaunty gallop of the returning main section. Whatever Burgmüller had in mind, in my interpretation, the fox gets away!
