All Grieg programme. Early manner: “Arietta,” showing Grieg’s early indebtedness to Schumann. “Patriotic Song,” in the style of a four-part song for male voices. “Folk Song,” not a genuine folksong, but a piece of art-music with folksong flavour. “Norwegian Bridal Procession.” “Dances from Josler” (Norwegian dance). These pieces, whether original compositions or arrangements of folk-music, all show the comparative simplicity of Grieg’s harmonic thought in his earlier style. Middle manner: Ballade, Op. 24 .(in the form of variations on a Norwegian folksong). In it are notable instances of what is called, “unnatural harmonisation,” i.e., harmonisation in which the chords, although harmonising from moment to moment with the notes of the melody, do not carry out the inherent harmonic suggestions contained in the melody. Late manner: Norwegian folk-songs and peasant dances—(a) “In Ola Valley”; (b) “Gibson’s Bridal March”; (c) “Rapt in Thought I Wander”; (d) “John Vaestafae’s Spring Dance”; (e) “Gjendine’s Cradle Song”; (f) “Rotnamskurt, Hailing.” In his piano volumes devoted to Norwegian folk-music, the “Norwegian Folksong, and the “Slaatter” (peasant dances), Grieg has disclosed as nowhere else in his piano works, the full iconoclastic daring of his harmonic imaginationforeshadowing again and again, the harmonic developments of the modern French school. 9.0 (approx.): Weather.
