Description

Edvard Grieg's "Lyric Pieces" were a kind of poetic piano diary. Between 1867 and 1901, he composed 66 short character pieces, published in ten books. Well-known works like "Wedding Day at Troldhaugen," "March of the Dwarfs," and "To the Spring" are among Grieg's most famous. Alongside these virtuosic compositions, the collection also includes numerous simpler dances and melodies suitable for early piano students. Until now, only five individual books from the series were available from Henle (HN 619, 627, 644, 681, 713). This new collected volume includes the complete "Lyric Pieces," with fingerings provided by Norwegian pianist and Grieg specialist Einar Steen-Nøkleberg.
