Edvard Grieg: piano pieces, easiest first

Edvard Grieg (1843–1907) was born in Bergen, in Norway, and became his country's best-known composer. He studied in Leipzig, but his music is rooted in Norway: its folk tunes and dances, the drones and open fifths of its fiddles, its mountains and fjords. His best-known works are the Piano Concerto in A minor, the music for Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt, and the sixty-six Lyric Pieces for piano, short pieces in ten books written over more than thirty years.
