- The current series breaks Burgmüller’s La Tarantelle into four chapters, including “Ridiculous Budget” and “Dat Nah Go Work Breddah.”
Field notes
The page maps each bar of a piece to a chapter; the active series is La Tarantelle, Op. 100 No. 20 by J.F.F. Burgmüller. Its four visible chapter teasers move from choosing a piece to the speed demands of ten fingers and the coordination problem that remains after practicing hands separately. Other listed repertoire includes Scales, Someone You Loved, and Jackson Street Blues, each marked “Chapters coming.”
