My dad had a Steinway grand piano, which he rarely played because my mom thought it was "too loud". Well every great once-in-awhile, she wouldn't be home, and this was always the first piece he would play. I'm pretty sure he was doing his favorite parts, perhaps even improvising the arrangement. It seemed to be about 10 minutes long, the version he would do. So powerful! I remember asking him what it was called, or who composed it, but that memory was long forgotten when I got the idea to try and figure it out a couple decades ago. My wife (at the time) and I frequented the local library, and I became enamored with their extensive CD collection. When I discovered the classical music section, that's when I got the idea to find this piece. I checked out every CD from every composer they had, but I did not find any Grieg. Then, a few weeks ago, I had RUclips on in the living room, playing in the background. Someone was interviewing a session guitarist who I wasn't familiar with, I was not paying attention. But then the guitarist played a few chords, and whatever it was brought those first descending notes of this piece into my memory, and I was able to vocalize a reasonable facsimile for the very first time. I immediately called a dear old friend who listens almost exclusively to classical music, and "sang" the melody to him. He responded that it kinda sounded like a piece by Tchaikovsky, but when I looked it up, I said "It's... similar. But too fast, too fluid. It needs more power, more like rock power chords by The Who." "Oh, you mean Grieg!" Yes, that's the one! It's like I finally made a musical connection with my dad more than 40 years after his passing. And I've been learning a little about a wonderful composer I had never really heard of. Pretty effin' cool, if ya ask me. This is a wonderful performance of this great piece!

What orchestra is this?
A woman who touches me deeply but I can't touch her😢 Thankyou ❤
Umm…. Wtf???? Lol
She is barefoot😮
Interrupting music for commercial gain is the height of bad manners.
10ヶ月前にしては若くない？
この指揮者は2014に亡くなってます。
Very good..........but can she play "Great Balls Of Fire"......????!!!!!
You are insulting her!
@@AW-hg2ut Well, can she ???
She probably doesn’t know it but she is definitely capable of playing it. What are you on?
@@underscorde1976 Comedy pills !!!!
Of course she could. But why should she want to?
彼女に実力はあるとは思うが、多分コンマスと何回かは寝てる
