Among the most famous and popular works by Edvard Grieg are the two Peer Gynt Suites and the piano suite From Holberg’s Time.<\/p>\n

From Holberg’s Time, opus 40<\/strong>
\nLudwig Holberg (1684-1754) was a key figure in early Danish literature, but was born in Norway, in Grieg\u2019s native city Bergen.
\nGrieg composed two works for the celebrations of 1884, 200 years after Holberg\u2019s birth: a cantata for male voices, now forgotten, and the Holberg Suite, which remains among his best-loved music, especially the arrangement for string orchestra, which appeared in 1885. In order to evoke Holberg\u2019s time, Grieg models his work on the dance forms of the French Baroque suite.

\nGrieg – From Holberg’s Time (5 pieces)<\/a><\/p>\n

Two Peer Gynt Suites, solo piano versions – op 46 and 55<\/strong>
\nGrieg wrote incidental music for Ibsen\u2019s play Peer Gynt in 1875, but that score was not published until 1908, one year after the composer\u2019s death. However, in 1888 and 1891 Grieg extracted some of the movements, creating two Concert Suites which became extremely successful and remain staples of the orchestral repertoire. He later arranged them for solo piano.

The three suites have now been added to the Piano Street sheet music library together with 31 other solo piano pieces including
\nMoods (Stimmungen), opus 73<\/a> and Grieg’s own solo piano transcriptions of songs.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
