The texture of the piece reminds me of Schumann‘s ”Von fremden Ländern und Menschen“. It‘s incredible how much beauty Grieg achieves with such simplicity, As a teenager I was especially fond of Scnadinavian nature and culture and Grieg‘s music was the perfect embodiment.
I really enjoy the concept of how some chords can have the same notes but different names and/or functions. I don't know why but it's something that has intrigued me for awhile.
I love the thumbnail! Grieg in the crib, I thought that was really creative and funny (since this is a lullaby of course). Love your stuff, keep it up!
Thank you for taking the time to do this! A perfect little tutorial 😊 - the left hand tip for the conclusion of the first part is a great idea - look forward to trying it.
Just a note theory wise, When you say it's an Ab6 at 5:40 ish, I understand it's the same notes but conventionally it's more functioning as an Fm7 in first inversion, it's highly unlikely that people especially who write this kind of music is going to write it as an Ab6. That's very style specific. Anyway that's not a big point just thought it worth mentioning.
That's so funny, because right now I'm learning some of the lyric pieces by Greek such as the Norwegian dance from book 10, and the very famous wedding day March, I found your analysis very interesting by the way! 🗿
One more next week to start with! Alkan's music is from another world... I've just discovered and listened to the Concerto for solo piano all summer (but that's not happening on the channel..!)
Here are some suggestions: 1) Ballad No. 3 (Cuz it's my favourite ballad) 2) Ballad No. 2 (It's very dramatic) 3) Nocturne in B Major Op. 32 No. 1 4) Etude Op. 10 No. 9 5) Sonata in B minor (A big one, feel free to break it down into 4 or 8 parts) 6) Greig Pappilon 7) Etude Op. 25 No. 7
Do you know a good recording of the complete lyric pieces. Alice Sara Ott's Grieg album is awesome but doesn't have all my favorite lyric pieces. Additionally, if you could cover Once Upon a Time, Notturno, Folk Song, or Wedding Day at Troldhaugen that would be awesome as well.
There are a number of errors in your analysis. For example, measure 2 is vii°4/2 over E♭, which is a D fully diminished 7 in third inversion over a tonic pedal. It's not C°. Please be careful, errors like this can undermine the development of harmonic analytical skills of those who watch your videos. Use intervallic relations to determine the root and thus identity of tertian sonorities. Fourths for triads and seconds for sevenths are most helpful in locating the root.
Apologies for the piano being slightly out of tune, I've booked the tuner again!

Yes, it's the same texture there as well, only triplets.
My first thought was Schumann, too!

Finally someone who appreciates all the thumbnail work :D
Your amazing Henrik

Thank you. You are so generous. God bless you!
I listened to this a lot as a child. Loved it. Great analysis!
Grieg reused this theme as a waltz in his final Lyric Piece, composed in 1901, as a way of looking back on his life.

To this sounds a bit like a lullaby. Very sweet.
Thanks, it’s a beautiful piece, very soft (of course a lullaby), and you played beautifully! Thanks for that❤❤
Thank you
I just found your channel. THANK YOU!!
Thank you!

Thanks! Wedding day march is coming later in the autumn as well.
Such a nice piece!
I recently bought his lyric pieces. Hope you do more. I just recently discovered Alkan's prelude no.8 op. 31 in Ab minor. Also very interesting
One more next week to start with!

Lovely piece, quite the change from technical and moody Ravel!
I know, need to have some feel-good music after all that!

Also, thank you for the videos. I learn so much. Love the channel
I'm working my way through some more Grieg actually, Notturno out now: ruclips.net/video/Q9uzlGRqD8g/видео.html
@@SonataSecrets I saw! One of my favorite Grieg pieces! Thank you so much
I really liked Emil Gilels recordings.
Very similar to b minor sonata by lizst

I enjoyed the analysis and the playing. The piece didn't resonate with me. Not sure why, just didn't.
