12 Melodious Studies, Opus 63 - Piano

Jean Louis Gobbaerts (Belgian, 1835–1886) was a successful concert pianist, teacher, and composer during the Romantic period. Although he composed over 1,200 piano compositions, he is best remembered through his educational works under the pseudonym J. L. Streabbog (Gobbaerts spelled backwards). The simplicity and appeal of these accessible pieces show a perceptive knowledge of the abilities of student pianists.
