From Holberg's Time op. 40, Suite in the Old Style - Grieg /Herttrich /Steen-Nokleberg - Piano - Book
Composer: Edvard Grieg
Editor: Ernst Herttrich
Editor/Fingering: Einar Steen-Nokleberg
Format: Softcover
Instrumentation: Piano
In 1884 Grieg composed a suite in Baroque style on the occasion of the 200th birthday of the poet Ludvig Holberg, who was very well-known in Norway. Taking inspiration from Holberg's time there are dances and forms from Baroque music here - Praludium, Sarabande, Gavotte, Air and Rigaudon. But they are combined with the melodic and harmonic language of the 19th century, and with Grieg's characteristic compositional style. In this way the music achieves the charming mix that is the reason for its popularity. Even though the string orchestra version is better known today, Grieg first wrote the work for piano.
The fingering prepared for this Urtext edition helps to open up the dense and often polyphonic piano-writing.
