grieg's lyric pieces

[hodi]

i'm looking for a short lyric piece of grieg
something calm and beautiful to play, i'm tired of playing fast pieces.

any suggestions?

[bassoonypiano]

You should try his Notturno from his op 54 I believe. There is also a short piece entitled "Melody" but I can't remember the Opus nummber from that.

[nanabush]

Try his Arietta, it's only one page..

[rafant]

Besides the Notturno, I'd suggest the Duetto and the 2nd and 3rd Venetian Boat songs.

[rafant]

What a shame!, the boat songs are from Mendelssohn. Have patience to me. Try instead the Lyric Piece named Vanished days.

[Barbosa-piano]

Arietta and To Spring are good choices, and there are many others from his Lyric Pieces, very good ones in Op. 12.

[arensky]

Four of my favorites are Berceuse/Vuggevise op.38#1, In my Homeland/I Hjemmet op.43#3, Erotik op.43#5, Vanished Days/Svundne Dage op.57#1. Check 'em out.

[bernhard]

Here are my favourites amongst the slow ones:

1.   Arietta – op. 12 no. 1
2.   Berceuse – op. 38 no. 1
3.   Melodie – op. 38 no. 3 (this is particularly beautiful)
4.   Erotik – op. 43 no 5
5.   To Spring – op. 43 no. 6
6.   Melodie – op. 47 no. 3
7.   Elegie – op. 47 no. 7
8.   Notturno – op. 54 no. 4
9.   Sylphide – op. 62 no. 1
10.   At your feet – op. 68 no. 3
11.   Phantom – op. 62 no. 5
12.   Summer’s eve – op. 71 no. 2
13.   Remembrances – op. 71 no. 7

Best wishes,
Bernhard

I am surprised Gade made it to no one's list.  Very pretty and fits your description perfectly.

I love this repertoire.  It makes the piano sound so good!

Don't be surprised. I left it out to give you the opportunity to mention it.
