Re: Week 2: Fully immersed in Grieg's musical landscape
@Thurmond R Great! Thank you, Thurmond! Yes, that playful and mischievous manner was definitely something Grieg thought of with the "small trolls", so I can see why they choose that title.

@Jennifer Mehta Lovely playing! Great imagery you’re portraying! Loving the chromatic work (summer storm), and then the calmness again.

Re: Week 1: Taking your first steps!
@Jennifer Mehta Thank you so much! Yes, it’s fascinating how different all the pieces in this opus are from each other. A common thread would have to be nature and Grieg’s color pallets.

Sort of an “all-round pianist”. I specialized in popular music and jazz in my education, but have focused mostly on classical in later years. I do some occasional arranging and composing.
