3.0 out of 5 stars good basic edition, October 14, 2008

By	Linnea Landin Burr - See all my reviews

this is a good basic edition for the piano student. the book contains varied works of Grieg, including some beautiful, poignant, little-known songs of his that he arranged for piano solo. the German texts for these are printed in the book, and help the performer to understand the depth of feeling the composer intended in each piece. the book itself is not bound well, and doesn't seem as sturdy as some other editions. with care, though, it is a good resource for studying Grieg's piano music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of works by Grieg, March 24, 2006

By	Alfred Krebs (Irvine, California, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very nice edition of piano works by Edvard Grieg. It includes the piano score of the Holberg Suite ("From Holberg's Time"), wich was originally written for piano and transcribed to the orchestral version later (the piano version is actually largely unknown). It is worth buying this publication because of that beautiful piano work alone, but many other short pieces and even a solo piano arrangement of the A minor piano concerto are included. My only criticism is that the edition is of the kind that uses glue to bind the pages, so with time I expect the pages to fall out... Other than that, I'm very happy.
