This volume compiles two of Grieg's early piano collections, forming an attractive introductory book of his characterful compositions. The Lyric Pieces, published when Grieg was just 24 years old, are among his most accessible piano works, representing a deliberate effort to provide beginner pianists with melodic and approachable music.
Grieg's second book of Lyric Pieces, published 16 years after the first, quickly matched the immense popularity of the original collection. Notably, the initial title pages still referred to the works as "Little Pieces", even as the compositions in the second book grew longer, more complex, and technically challenging, departing from the simplicity and brevity that defined the first volume.
Grieg's acclaimed Lyric Pieces series reaches a spectacular culmination in the eighth book. Though the composer had grown weary of the series, the publisher's persistence led him to create a brilliant closing piece, "Wedding Day at Troldhaugen" - a recollection of Grieg's own silver wedding anniversary that is both technically demanding and highly accessible for talented pianists of all levels.
