Lyric Pieces Op. 12, 38, 43

(Schott). Grieg's "Lyric Pieces" are among the most popular piano pieces ever written. Works such as "Papillon," "Fairy-Dance" and "To Spring" have become "cult pieces" in the repertoire of domestic music-making. It is a delightful challenge for the modern performer to realize the delicate musical balance between a simple folk tradition and the Romantic urge of expressiveness.
