Description

Chosen mainly from Grieg's "Lyric Pieces", these 22 compositions demonstrate the composer's expertise in the piano miniature, featuring the "Elfin Dance" and "Watchman's Song." Halford's introduction contains a facsimile of the "Album Leaf" that is part of the collection, along with an analysis of his stylistic characteristics.
