It's the sheet music to all of Grieg's Lyric Pieces. There have been editions of this before. I had borrowed the Bertha Feiring Tapper edition before, but at c. $80 for one book, I couldn't justify buying it. I was happy when this new edition came out at a reasonable price.

Also, the fingerings here are cleaner in a few places. I have in mind Vogelein, where Tapper had some strange fingerings that may have been mistakes.

I have enjoyed flipping through the book and playing pieces at random. The pieces are so beautiful and unique. Some of them are easier to play than others, but most of them could be played at first sight. It's a great addition to my classical sheet music collection.
