Edvard Grieg
Wedding Day at Troldhaugen op. 65 no. 6
With his 66 Lyric Pieces Edvard Grieg created a multifaceted treasury of piano miniatures and character pieces. Many have become piano classics, none more so than The Wedding at Troldhaugen, which we offer 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-Nøkleberg will be of help in mastering the fairly high-level technical challenges of this piece.
