grieg

I would repatriate to a quiet fjord in northern Norway, code outdoors in the summer with Grieg echoing through the fjord.

Someone like Grieg is to me fresh because it is unfamiliar.

I chose Anitra’s Dance, since I’ve always liked Grieg and knew it well.

Edvard Grieg has two piano pieces, one from the very beginning of his publication history, one from near the end, and both have the same musical theme.

I knew a pianist who played Grieg concerto at the BBC Proms but she could barely stretch an octave.

For instance, amongst the musicians I've known, playing all Chopin Etudes or Grieg Concerto by 8 years old isn't particularly outstanding - these are easily Diploma level 2/3 works.

I remember a colleague who learned the Grieg concerto but was having a small number of wrong notes (say, 5% or so) creep into various sections of the piece, seemingly at random.

Edit: OK, after looking up stuff, Brahms wrote Hungarian Dances but I was thinking of Béla Bartók; Grieg wrote the _Peer_ Gynt suite (not Per Gynt); and Franco Faccio wrote Amleto.

It also has the worst puzzles I’ve ever seen in a computer game, so embarrassingly easy they’d be better off removed entirely, and playing it just after The Witness (I can never listen to Grieg ever again) only compounded this gaming felony.

I can belt out (and am known to occasionally do so when walking home from the pub solo) Ein Schwan by Grieg (in the German, didn't learn the Norwegian version) and Ave Verum Corpus by Byrd while drunk, so you're saying these two pieces suck?

The story goes that Liszt sight-read the Grieg Piano concerto but we should not forget that he worked like a dog in his earlier years and then redoubled his efforts at 17 (already with a reputation) when he heard Paganini in Paris for the first time one night after which he took his technique apart and rebuilt it with the result (another level) we know about.

Here's a the dramatized version of David Grieg's 2012 play "The Letter of Last Resort" produced for BBC Radio 4.

Similarly, "name this composer" is more likely to be cluing Beethoven or Bach or Mozart than Grieg or Saint-Saens, and almost certainly not anybody more obscure than that.

>> The only thing I enjoyed about that movie were the Elo formulae and the soundtrack (the metal rendition of Grieg’s In The Hall Of The Mountain King that runs behind the rowing race is particularly good, as is the track titled “Painted Sun in Abstract”).

Ultra-low latency technology allowed musicians to play Edvard Grieg's Holberg Suite perfectly in sync.

The one time we struggled to get in was something like famous enough to get played on Classic FM (Grieg?).

I agree with most of its selection for the Romantic period, though I would add a little more Tchaikovsky and Grieg.
