25 Easy and Progressive Etudes, Op. 100

Friedrich Burgmüller

Notes whose lengths are equal to one-sixteenth the value of a whole note or one quarter of a quarter note.

Chord tones played one note at a time that are not part of an accompaniment pattern.

Chords with alternate ordering of their tones where the root is placed either in the middle or at the top of the chord.

Chords comprised of the root, major 3rd, perfect 5th, and minor 7th. Sometimes they are found in close position with only three notes.

A technique that involves one hand crossing over or under the other.

A type of texture where the left hand plays the melody and the right hand plays the accompaniment for an extended period of time.

An Italian term meaning "delaying"; an indication instructing the player to decrease speed, often gradually.

A type of articulation indicating the player to play short and light; notes not held for their full value.

Also called the damper pedal, it is the rightmost pedal on the piano and used to sustain notes by moving the dampers away from the strings.
