Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) was a remarkably prolific correspondent -- over 3,000 letters from his hand have been published either in the original languages or in translation -- but his extant writings in other genres are limited to the items contained in this present volume. They include his diaries from 1865-66 and 1905-07, autobiographical sketches, articles on other composers whom he admired, and essays on a variety of topics that engaged his interest at one time or another during his career. The texts of a handful of short speeches are also known to us, primarily through contemporary newspaper accounts. All are presented in English translation here. Readers of Grieg's letters (Edvard Grieg: Letters to Colleagues and Friends) know that the great composer was a writer of considerable skill, and the items contained in these pages provide further evidence of that fact. With the publication of this book, all of Grieg's most important 'literary' works -- letters, diaries, articles and speeches -- are now available in English translation.
Cheong Yew Choong presents a biography on the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg (1843-1907), as part of the Piano Solo's Corner resource. Choong discusses Grieg's personality, piano-playing style, composing habit, and music. Grieg composed mostly piano works. A portrait and quotes of Grieg are available.
This edition contains the Peer Gynt Suite with familiar titles such as 'Morning Mood,' 'Anitra's Dance,' 'The Death of Ase,' and 'In the Hall of the Mountain King' along with numerous of Grieg's Lyric Pieces. We've even included the opening theme of his Piano Concerto in A Minor. This publication contains 50 selections.
'My First Grieg' contains a selection of the easier to moderately difficult Lyric Pieces from Op. 12, 38, 43, 47, 54, 68 and 71 as well as three pieces from the Peer Gynt Suites Op. 46 and 55. Including the famous Morning Mood in the original duet version by the composer. Ideal for music lessons and for playing at home. Great works for little masters!
Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg wrote many small masterpieces. Included in this edition are 45 of his most popular and useful works, including "Anitra's Dance," "Peer Gynt Suite,: "March of the Dwarfs," and "Wedding-Day in Troldhaugen." Fingering, phrasing, pedaling and dynamics that underscore the musical structure have been added by editor Henry Levine. Included is a very insightful biography on Grieg as well as a thematic index.
A fascinating exploration of Grieg's visits to England and what the country meant to him, showing how it had a far greater impact on his life and career than has hitherto been recorded.
