Grieg Favourites

All these Grieg favourites, arranged by Mike Cornick will be very familiar to pianists but perhaps not in this guise. Mike has arranged them for one piano, four hands, the ubiquitous piano duet that was so popular decades ago in the days before gramophones. The selection starts with possibly Grieg’s best known work, the theme of the second movement of the Piano Concerto. The fame of that music was, of course, helped by Morecambe, Wise and Previn but you will find no “right notes … in the wrong order” in Mike’s masterly arrangement.

The book also contains pieces from Peer Gynt, Lyric Pieces and Two Elegiac Melodies and will be great material for intermediate players to present at a festival or concert. If you enjoy these arrangements, look for Mike’s book Elgar Favourites (UE 21779) for the same combination.
