Скачать или смотреть Sigfrid Karg-Elert - Scandinavische Weisen, Op.28

Here is a set of 7 pieces inspired by Scandinavian melodies by German composer Sigfrid Karg-Elert (1877–1933). These pieces are very much in the same spirit as Edvard Grieg's more famous 'Lyric Pieces,' not surprising considering that Karg-Elert greatly admired and was encouraged/inspired by the fellow composer.

This was a really nice set to learn and play. The biggest challenge was not so much technical, but rather being able to accurately capture the distinctive character of each piece. References to various folk dances and melodies can be heard throughout.
