By Edvard Grieg / ed. Margery Halford
Selected primarily from Grieg's "Lyric Pieces", these 22 works illustrate the composer's mastery of the piano miniature, including the "Elfin Dance," and "Watchman's Song." Halford's foreword includes a facsimile of the "Album Leaf" included in the collection, as well as a discussion of his stylistic traits.
