  • Very enjoyable selection of piano music
Format: Paperback
I have really been enjoying these pieces. Most are easy enough that I can play them immediately and work on fine tuning later. Very enjoyable. I've been on a bit of a Grieg kick after traveling to Norway and hearing a piano recital at Grieg's former home last summer.

  • Lovely Short Pieces!
Format: Paperback
I love the lyric selections in this book -Grieg's music is so beautiful and memorable! Many of the pieces are short (between 2-6 pages) and overall would require intermediate piano skills, some pieces being more challenging than others. I use this as a fun book to play from when I need to relax from the other more complex music that I'm learning. The book is quite thick, but it stays open fairly well (we'll see of my answer changes once I play something closer to the middle of the book). ... show more

  • WONDERFUL BOOK
Format: Paperback
Just what the junk journal needs. Sheet music. I got tired of looking in the junk stores (thrift) for music paper of any kind. SO I BIT THE BULLET and bought 3 of these. SPENDY for just ripping up, I know, but a girl has to do what a girl has to do. One of them has over SEVEN HUNDRED pages! I believe I'm set for life!!! They are nice books too. I plan to coffee/tea stain some of the pages for a vintage feel. Great books!! ... show more

  • Delightful music
Format: Paperback
Gosh, these are wonderful pieces and such fun to play. They range in difficulty from fairly simple to quite technically tough in a few cases but most pianists of moderate ability (like me) will find many to enjoy. Grieg writes often in a folk manner, summoning the spirit of his native Norway with dances, wedding marches and nationalistic songs. Many of these pieces have a melancholic tinge, others are wistful but some a sheer joy. There are also some unusual harmonies that were ahead of their time. There are over 60 of these mainly short sketches (although some run several pages and are more ambitious) and they are an inexhaustible source of delight. The edition, as one would expect, is clear with fingering and solidly bound for years of use. ... show more

  • Grieg was ahead of his time
Format: Paperback
I have been playing this pieces in the morning lately. Grieg had a very interesting approach to harmony. In many of his pieces there is movement in the middle parts of the chord, which are very minimal, but which create very surprising harmonies. For example, "Elfin Dance" has a neat harmonic trick happening in middle, sandwiched between the top and bottom notes. His music is very chromatic and free. In someways I feel he almost set the stage for Debussy, who was about the same time era. I really like "Butterfly" and "Notturno". ... show more

  • Charming little songs
Format: Paperback
A lot of the pieces sound the same to me, but there are also a lot of real gems in this collection. Charming little songs, most not terribly difficult to play.
