GRIEG E. - PEER GYNT SUITE N°1 OP.46 - ALTO

Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg originally wrote Peer Gynt as the incidental music to Henrik Ibsen's 1867 play of the same name which premiered in 1876. Later in 1888 and 1891 Grieg extracted eightmovements to make two four-movement suites: Suite No. 1 Op. 46 (Morning The death of Ã?se Anitra's dance and In the hall of the mountain king) and Suite No. 2 Op. 55 (The abduction of the bride Arabiandance Peer Gynt's homecoming (stormy evening on the sea) and Solveig's song). Some of these movements have received coverage in popular culture and are thus well-recognised everywhere.This edition of the Peer GyntSuites is arranged for Grade 8 Piano solo.

Rooted in the Norwegian Folk tradition the piano music of Edvard Grieg offers spirited rhythms novel harmonies and a refined lyrical sense. Included in this volume are the perennial favorites Peer Gynt Suites Nos. 1 and 2 in Grieg's own piano arrangement and the Holberg Suite as well as a rich selection of other pieces.Reproduced from authoritative editions published by C.F. Peters.

Version for Piano two-Hands-Grieg?s incidental music for Henrik Ibsen?s drama ?Peer Gynt? contains some of his best-known compositions such as ?Morning mood? and ?In the hall of the Mountain King?. Grieg later extractedthe most beautiful pieces to form two orchestral suites and arranged himself these versions for Piano solo and Piano four-hands. There was a surprise in store for Henle when they were preparing our Urtext edition. In theautograph and the first print run the second suite contained another movement the ?Dance of the Mountain King?s Daughter? which Grieg deleted shortly afterwards. This charming dance appears in the appendix to thisedition printed again for the first time in 120 years! The Norwegian pianist and Grieg expert Einar Steen-Nøkleberg was co-editor for this edition and also provided the new fingerings.

Ever since the first performance of the Peer Gynt Suite No.1 in 1876 this work has remained one of the most often performed compositions in the romantic repertoire. It was only a matter of time before other ensembles adapted the work and the present arrangement for Woodwind Quintet of the four-movement suite does justice to the sound world of Grieg exploring the subtle nuances of these five very individual instruments. Included are naturally ?Morning? ?Aase?s Death? ?Anitra?s Dance? and the jewel of the suite ?In the Hall of the Mountain King?. The edition also includes a reference score to ease rehearsal ofthe work.- Valuable addition to the Woodwind Quintet literature.- Reference score- Parts for Flute Oboe Clarinet (in A) Horn (in e) Horn Bassoon
