Edvard Grieg (1843-1907)

Norwegian composer who became, more than anyone else, the voice of Norwegian music on the world stage, at a time when Norway itself was pushing for a national identity apart from Denmark and Sweden. His Piano Concerto in A minor, written when he was just twenty-four, remains one of the most beloved concertos in the repertoire; the incidental music he wrote for Ibsen's play Peer Gynt, including "Morning Mood" and "In the Hall of the Mountain King," is some of the most recognizable music ever composed. Away from the big commissions, his ten books of Lyric Pieces for solo piano, small, folk-inflected miniatures written across his whole career, work almost like a musical diary.

The easiest Grieg on the shelf, in order. Nothing here is graded and nobody is ranked: the shelf simply puts the pieces that ask less of your hands before the ones that ask more.

How the reader works

Each score opens as engraved notation you can read from the stand, and it plays: hear the piece first, then slow it down and loop the bar that is not working. There is nothing to install and no account to make. When you want paper, print it.

Every file is MusicXML, so MuseScore, Sibelius, Finale and Dorico open them too.

Where to go next

If you are learning Grieg rather than only reading, the scale pages cover fingering in every key, the chord pages spell out every chord, and the symbol dictionary explains any mark on the page you do not recognise.
