Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) brilliantly utilized Norwegian folk music to create compositions remarkable for their originality, impressionistic harmonies, and melodic richness. Included here are Grieg's own arrangements of his enormously popular Peter Gynt Suites 1 & 2 (with such favorites as 'Morning Mood' and 'In the Hall of the Mountain King'); the four Norwegian Dances. Op.35, displaying strong folk-music influence; the elegant and urbane Walt- Caprice, Op. 37; and the exuberant 'Wedding Day at Troldhaugen,' Op. 65, No.6, a four-hand arrangement of one of Grieg's best-loved Lryic Pieces.
