Grieg Lyric Pieces and Poetic Tone-Pictures for Piano

Grieg Lyric Pieces and Poetic Tone-Pictures for Piano

This volume brings together two early collections by Grieg to form an attractive first book of characterful piano pieces. The Lyric Pieces, published when the composer was 24, are amongst the easiest pieces Grieg wrote for the piano, and represent a conscious attempt to provide accessible and tuneful music for beginners.
