'Entr'actes (4), Op. 17' is a set of four short pieces for solo piano composed by Norbert Burgmüller. The work was composed in 1839 and premiered in the same year. The four movements are marked as follows: 1. Andante sostenuto 2. Allegro con moto 3. Andante 4. Allegro vivace The first movement, Andante sostenuto, is a slow and melancholic piece in the key of E-flat major. The melody is simple and lyrical, with a gentle accompaniment in the left hand. The second movement, Allegro con moto, is a lively and energetic piece in the key of C minor. The melody is more complex and virtuosic, with a fast and rhythmic accompaniment in the left hand. The third movement, Andante, is another slow and lyrical piece, this time in the key of A-flat major. The melody is again simple and expressive, with a delicate accompaniment in the left hand. The final movement, Allegro vivace, is a fast and lively piece in the key of C major. The melody is playful and cheerful, with a bouncy accompaniment in the left hand. Overall, 'Entr'actes (4), Op. 17' is a charming and delightful work for solo piano. The four movements are relatively short and easy to play, making it a popular choice for intermediate-level pianists. The work showcases Burgmüller's skill in crafting memorable melodies and creating a variety of moods and textures.
