Lyric Pieces, Volume VIII Op. 65

Grieg's successful series of Lyric Pieces reaches a unique climax in the eighth book. After the publisher almost had to force him - Grieg was at the point of becoming tired of composing Lyric Pieces - the composer succeeded in creating a spectacular and brilliant closing piece, "Wedding Day at Troldhaugen". This recollection of Grieg's own silver wedding anniversary is extremely effective, and performable not just by piano virtuosos - talented newcomers will also enjoy unlocking its technical secrets!
