Grieg - In the Hall of the Mountain King (4 hands) [Perfomance]

[frankiisko]

Hi to everyone! Well, today i'm going to show you a very cool thing!!  

It's a record made on the last Christmas (2010)

Here it's the transcription of "In the Hall of the Mountain King" for 4 hands made by the original composer (Edvard Grieg)

This piece was played by my friend Natalia (who plays high notes) and me (who plays low notes) It's a piece which I love. We have recorded it with a very very good image quality and a good sound quality. This piece makes me to want to play more pieces from Grieg, because this one is incredible (maybe, i should play all the suite op 46... that could be perfectly one of my future projects ^_^)

It's the only piece i've played from Edvard Grieg, this norwegian composer; but i've liked it so much that I think I will play more of his pieces.

I hope you like it

Hi frankiisko
I really enjoyed it very much and it was entertaining. What a wonderful piano duet you discovered! I recently discovered the name of this song which I always keep hearing in ads and I was surprised there was a four hand arrangement. Well played.

And yes, there is a Four hans transcription (made by the original composer! ^^)

Thank you very much for your opinion!

Hi frankiisko

This is the first time I've ever heard this transcription, but I believe that you and your friend it put the music across to the audience convincingly.  Very nice playing!

Thanks for sharing this duet.

Its a very repetitive piece - but you both kept my interest well - 

[frankiisko]

Thank you very much to you both!  

rachfan -> This transcription was made by the composer and yes, I think the audience was happy with the concert =)

starstruck5 -> I don't think this is a repetitive piece (it's just 2:30 minutes, it's difficult for a piece to be repetitive with that short duration) but yes I understand you You mean there is a main theme that gets stronger and I'm very happy for having kept your interest!  

Thank you very much again!
