Thank you for this challenge! I’ve not done much Grieg. I have been having fun reading through some of these. I have narrowed down what am want to learn to 4 pieces, hahaha. I’m not sure I can learn well all 4, but I’ll figure it out and let you know.

I'm due for a technical challenge, so I'll try Puck.

I am a bit late.. but... Wedding Day at Troldhaugen.. Where my love for Grieg began.
FYI, for those of you who like a good DVD, Leif Ove Andsnes made one, it is fantastic to watch and to get a good understanding of the composer himself.

Rolf Rencken Great recommendation! Leif Ove Andsnes is amazing! Good luck with Wedding day!

Just finished listening to all 66 of these lovely lyric pieces many times. I think I will start at the very beginning with Arietta. Time permitting, I might play the last piece too- the Waltz, since it is based on Arietta. I have never played Grieg before so looking forward to playing and listening to everyone’s pieces

Here's my first practice video of the "March of the Dwarfs". It's really a fun piece but I clearly need to spend more time on it.
