Gracefulness (Op. 100 No. 8) - Burgmuller
Gracefulness is an apt title for this study. The main notes on each eighth-note pulse outline the melody while the thirty-second notes are embellishment turns. The turns require disciplined fingertip control not allowing the nail joint to collapse during the execution of each turn. The portato touch a separation of notes, is used in bars 9 through 16 as an effective contrast to the smooth melody line of the first section.
