 Grieg, "At thy Feet", Op. 68, No. 3 (from the Lyric Pieces)

Edvard Grieg (1843-1907), a Norwegian and composer of the romantic style, is very poorly represented in this forum, other than the piano concerto. It's true that: 1) He was not a master of large forms, with the notable exception of the Piano Concerto in Am, which continues to enjoy popularity with audiences. But his Piano Sonata was, as he himself thought, dull, and the Ballade never captured the imagination of audiences. 2) His Lyric Pieces are mostly at intermediate level. Yes, in fact, many teachers use some as "teaching pieces", as Grieg often added a particular technical challenge to a piece. The Notturno Op. 54, No. 4 comes immediately to mind, as it is often a pupil's first exposure to polyrhythms.
However, Grieg more than excelled at composing a nearly endless array of character pieces--enough of them to fill four volumes. He was the master of the miniature. The Lyric Pieces are of wide variety and display the entire range of human moods. Some are nationalistic but many are universal.
I'm posting this one piece from the Lyric Pieces (recorded today) to illustrate the kind of gems therein. Perhaps other members will add more. I'm glad to at least get Grieg's name up on the boards here!
