Wedding day at Troldhaugen - Edvard Grieg

[eh44]

Lovely piece - I remember first hearing this when I was at University nearly 40 years ago. I think you have the tempo just right

nice job! Looks like we play the song very differently so here is some inspiration. It's not perfect (:

Hei! Takk for kommentar, og videoen din! Jeg spiller stykket litt mindre pompøst en du gjør, kanskje litt for lite "bryllupsdag" i min versjon? Du spiller det veldig bra!

[RubenHogh]

@leifoveandsnesfan 1000 tak for det! Det kan godt være du har ret i det - det er jo et kæmpe stort, smukt og højtidigt bryllup og så vil jeg mene det pompøse er meget vigtigt. Teknisk er du meget bra - du laver færre fejl end mig(: Keep up the good work!

[RubenHogh]

også lige et mere råd. I det stille stykke gentages "A stykket" 2 gange, hvor anden gang er en lille smule anderledes, altså med de lyse toner. dem spiller du rimelig hurtigt og let. der mener jeg, man skal forestille sig nogle store kirke klokker de ikke har travlt og er meget tunge men giver en meget flot og blød klang. Men det er selvfølgelig op til hvordan du tolker sangen(:

I like how you are playing...the tempo suits to that how I am imagining this composition....just one little thing I would suggest...when the slow part comes....be a bit more free....let your emotions fly...I think there is always a little freedom within a composition...use it!

Congratulations ...you play wonderful!

[leifoveandsnesfan]

Thank you! :-)

My friend recently finished learning this song! It's really brilliant! You play it slightly better than he does, but he's only 15, so you probably have some more experience;) Well played! :p

[leifoveandsnesfan]

Thank you! :-)

I think it's fantastic that you play so many of Grieg's works, He really is an unusually uncredited composer. If only he had been way up there with Scott Joplin, Erik Satie and Debussy... But after all, they are all very different composers. But anyway, again, greatly done! Have you considered some other composers, though? I'd like to hear you in different classical genres :D

[leifoveandsnesfan]

I totaly agree with you on Griegs music! It is one of my favourite composers. I mostly play romantic pieces, by Beethoven and Grieg. But I also play chopin fantasie impromptu and liszt liebestraum, but I'm not ready to record them yet! My next plans is to record the intire holberg suite by Grieg. So look forward to it! I'm glad you liked my playing!

[KHDemyx]

That's great! My friend is currently playing is currently playing Fantasie Impromptu. So beautiful and complicated. I'm stuck with Maple Leaf Rag and Chopin Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2. I started playing pretty late, but my friend is brilliant, and so are you!

yay! another amazing video! how long have you played the piano for?

[leifoveandsnesfan]

Thanks! I have recorded the video with a better videocamera so the sound is much better! :-)

I have been playing the piano for about 10 years.
