The 1890s were years of relative peace for the widely traveled Grieg: he had recently taken up permanent residence at Troldhaugen#44; and the music world had begun to confer distinctions and honors on the beloved 53-year-old Norwegian composer. Out of this fertile period Griegapos;s second nationalist period was born--a fresh exploration of his countryapos;s rich treasury of folk music and the birth of his four evocative Symphonic Dances (on Norwegian Themes)#44; Op. 64. Scored for large orchestra and dipping into a rich palette of instrumental colors#44; the Dances are consider among Griegapos;s strongest#44; most mature pieces for orchestra. Unabridged republication of the first edition by C. F. Peters#44; Leipzig#44; 1898. [9 x 12#44; 128 pp.]Read More
