  • Yeah, I too wish I could have lessons with him so he could lesson me all night long. Just thinking about what he could teach me and how hard those lessons would be gives me goosebumps all over my would-be-teached body limps.

  • Wonderful technique and very tastefully played, but I prefer the omagery suggested by lightness and delicacy of Gieseking's approach. This is considerably faster than it needs to be. Butterflies are not jet-propelled after all.

  • Definitely too fast, this is not an etude and it's also a little too heavy for a butterfly.

  • Such beautiful tone and pedaling!

  • This is too fast.

  • This is some information for FilmTuffen:

    Edvard Hagerup Grieg (June 15, 1843 September 4, 1907)

    Achille-Claude Debussy (August 22, 1862 March 25, 1918)

    So who inspired who? Hahaha.

    Btw, Grieg was inspired by Schumann when writing his piano concerto and then Griegs concerto again inspired Rachmaninov to write his 1. concerto. So all these 3 concerti have some small similarities =)

  • Grieg is hardly classified as an impressionist, rather an exponent for the national-romantic comoposers. It's true that there is a clear connection beetween him and Debussy, I think both ways, as to inspiration

  • Grieg was not of the romantic period but of the impressionistic (<-not shure if that's the right term in english). A lot of his lyric peaces seams to be inspired by Debussy. So I believe Grieg lived well around the end of the 19th centurty and at the start of the 20th.

  • Chopin was early-mid romantic wasn't he? 1810-1849

  • A+ mister

  • IMHO, great as this performance is, I still don't find it as appealing as the original performance by Grieg. It seems a bit too smooth by contrast.
