Grieg's Sunset Serenades

Immerse yourself in the glow of twilight with Grieg’s Sunset Serenades: five romantic piano solos shaped as a programmatic journey from golden hour into night. Edvard Grieg’s nature-inspired music, colored by the Nordic light of Norway’s fjords and forests, makes this edition a distinctive set for ambitious pianists.

Anitra’s Dance, from Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op. 46 (A minor), opens the golden hour. Summer Evening, Op. 71 No. 2 (D♭ major), paints the warmth of dusk. Arietta, Op. 12 No. 1 (E♭ major), lets the light fade. The Brook, Op. 62 No. 4 (B minor), gleams in the last daylight. Åse’s Death, from Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op. 46 (B minor), bids the day farewell.

Lyric pieces and character pieces from 19th-century Norway — piano sheet music for recital, teaching, and concert programs.
