Perhaps it is comforting the sorrow of parting from the previous piece. Consolation is a famous title for piano pieces by Liszt, who also had a close relationship with Burgmüller. The term "lusingando" written at the beginning of the piece is sometimes explained in dictionaries as "coaxingly" or "flatteringly," but it rather carries the nuance of "gently caressing, soothingly accompanying." The cadence in the mediant key (E minor) at measure 15 is a bit unusual, but it is a harmonic progression characteristic of Burgmüller.

Performance Points (Original Tempo ♩=152)

  • At the beginning, practice isolating the difficult-to-move 4th/5th fingers and 3rd/4th fingers while sustaining the 1st finger.
  • From measure 8, practice playing the sustained 1st finger quietly so as not to disturb the melody in the upper voice.
  • The "A - G - F# - G - A - G" from the latter half of measure 11 is also an accompaniment, so play it quietly.
  • From measure 16, similarly with the left hand, and from measure 20, conversely, the 5th finger becomes the sustained note of the accompaniment.
  • Play the entire piece legato and introspectively.
