🇳🇴Edvard Grieg ： Slatter Telemark Wedding Procession Op.72-3

Included in Grieg’s Slatter, Op. 72, this dance piece depicts a wedding procession from the Telemark region. A clear meter suggesting a procession, folk-like melodic turns, and percussive accents shape the character of the music. It unfolds through repetition, and its alternation between rustic sonorities and festive excitement is a key attraction. In performance, the melody should sing while the accompaniment remains light rather than overly heavy, with ornaments and accents treated vividly. Maintaining the steady progress of the procession while carefully shaping changes in dynamics and sonority brings out the vitality of the folk-dance style.
