Grieg - Lyric Pieces Book VIII, Op. 65 (PDF Sheet Music / Digital Download)

Experience the evocative charm and rich harmonic language of Edvard Grieg's Lyric Pieces, Book VIII, Op. 65. Composed between 1896 and 1897, this collection of six miniatures for solo piano captures the essence of Norwegian landscape and folklore, intertwined with Grieg's signature intimacy and lyrical genius.

The collection culminates with "Wedding Day at Troldhaugen" (Nr. 6), a perennial concert favorite. Troldhaugen was Grieg's beloved home in Bergen, Norway. This piece begins with a stately processional march, transitions into a tender, lyrical middle section—perhaps representing the couple's intimate vows—before returning to the vibrant, celebratory march. This final piece perfectly blends national folk style with sophisticated European Romanticism, leaving the listener with a feeling of overwhelming joy.

This edition is a reissue of music originally published by C.F. Peters, Leipzig.
