Edvard Grieg ： 25 Norwegian Dances and Songs Little Girl Op.17-16

Grieg’s “Eg veit ei lita jente” (“Little Girl”) is a concise, songful miniature centered on a familiar and approachable melody. The roles of the melody and accompaniment are relatively clear, and attentive listening to the exchange of phrases and the shape of each musical idea brings out the character of the piece. In performance, the right-hand melody should be sung smoothly while the left hand remains light and unobtrusive. Use the pedal carefully to avoid blurring the texture, and bring out the warmth within the music’s simplicity through subtle dynamics and natural breathing.
