Wedding Day at Troldhaugen, Op. 65 No. 6

With his 66 Lyric Pieces, Edvard Grieg created a multifacted treasury of piano miniatures and character pieces. Many have become piano classics, none more so than The Wedding at Troldhaugen, which Henle publishers offers here in a separate edition. In this boisterous piece Grieg recalls a glittering celebration at the Villa Troldhaugen on the occasion of his silver wedding, something which attracted hundreds of guests and well-wishers. The fingerings by Norwegian Grieg specialist Einar Steen-N kleberg will be of help in mastering the fairly high-level technical challenges of this piece.
