Description
Key Signature: E Minor
Time Signature: 4/4
Tempo: Andante con moto (id like to do it about 68bpm so as to get the feel of forlonging of a "once upon a time", (much like an elegie))
Difficulty: Intermediate
Lyric Pieces (Norwegian: Lyriske stykker) is a collection of 66 short pieces for solo piano written by Edvard Grieg. They were published in 10 volumes, from 1867 (Op. 12) to 1901 (Op. 71). The collection includes several of his best known pieces, such as Wedding Day at Troldhaugen (Bryllupsdag på Troldhaugen), To Spring (Til våren), March of the Trolls (Trolltog), and Butterfly (Sommerfugl).
Rarely people talked about this particular piece of the lyric pieces, and i wonder why for such a beautiful piece that it hadnt garnered much recognition as a someform of an elegie, as in my opinion it is best to play it that way.
