The journey threw Book V of lyrical pieces (Op 54) continues with two of the more popular pieces. Trolltog/March of the Dwarfs and Notturno. Hope you enjoy!

  Alexander Weymann Sindre is a genius! He can memorize ANYTHING in, like, 10 minutes. Seriously! He's also learning French on DuoLingo!

  Sindre Skarelven What an authentic pleasure hearing your Grieg interpretations, Sindre! The Trolltog is extraordinary with that clarity of articulation, perfect dynamic and contagious energy. The Notturno is simply beautiful, how you sing the melody, gorgeous. Bravo!

Maybe a little different to the other videos. But this is how I practice.

  Rolf Rencken It was interesting to hear and see your process. I appreciate that you go through the different parts, analyzing as you go along and finding/knowing what works best for you. Your playing is beautiful as well. Thank you for sharing this video.
