In the Hall of the Mountain King

📄 About this piece

The backbone of In the Hall of the Mountain King is simple: B minor, a 4/4 pulse, and a Allegro tempo. It asks for hand independence, basic pedalling and some phrasing control — solidly intermediate territory.

Edvard Grieg fused Norwegian folk idiom with Romantic harmony. His "Peer Gynt" suites and "Lyric Pieces" are essential examples of Nordic Romantic colour.

Each of Grieg's "Lyric Pieces" must paint a complete picture in just a page or two. Use generous pedal and a light, flexible wrist to capture their folk-song sway.
