Be especially careful of measures 3, 19 and 35, so that the grace notes do not shorten the value of the preceding triplet; Norwegian Air: This piece reveals in its unique ways Grieg’s intimate relationship with Norwegian nature and peasant life.; Album Leaf: Chopin influence can be felt in this charming piece; Patriotic Song: This composition is powerful and full of pathos. It is written in chordal (chorale) style.; Volume 2, Op. 38; Lullaby: Grieg may have been thinking of his own daughter, Alexandra, who lived just a little over a year, when he composed this beautiful lullaby.; Popular melody: This piece is vigorous and full of character, with a dramatic pedal point that creates harmonic tension; Melody: and; Elegy: Both of these are good concert pieces with strong romantic characteristics.; Halling (Norwegian Dance): and; Spring Dance: Both of these are pure Norwegian and pure Grieg, full of rhythmic life and, for all their simplicity, vigorous and full of character; Waltz: This fine little piece whirls past in fiery haste; Canon: This is the first time Grieg’s conservatory training in Leizig makes and obvious appearance in his compositions. Even in this strict writing style, his personality comes through.; Solo para Consulta en Sala ER -
