THE WORKS OF GRIEG.
Grieg's works are mainly for the pianoforte, and in small forms, but embrace a sonata and a concerto for pianoforte, three violin and pianoforte sonatas, numerous songs, and a few orchestral and small choral pieces. " Beyond that of any other composer," says a critic, '" his music is characterised by the strongest national peculiarities, extreme gloom and brilliance alternating like the Norwegian summer and winter; its merriment is often wildly elfish in its freaks, and its pathos sometimes has a ghostly weirdness. He is as far removed from the commonplace as Chopin."
