Friedrich Burgmuller : La candeur (Offenen Sinnes, Artless mind) Op. 100 No. 1

From 25 Études Faciles. The German composer (Johann) Friedrich Burgmuller (1806-74) trained in his own country but moved to France in 1832, and settled there, becoming a French citizen. He was a successful piano teacher and composer of salon pieces and studies.
