Living Stone Songs: Norwegian Peasant’s Dances Op 72 by Edvard Grieg

Main Article Content

Ekaterina A. Shikova

Abstract

Peasant's Dances op. 72 is one of Grieg's last
creations and a monumental epic work. It should
be regarded as a literary-musical monument of
national culture because many of the dances are
preceded by Norwegian legends and sagas.
Drawing on the score, on Grieg's epistolary
body of work and on other historical evidence,
the author of the article analyses the making
of Peasant's Dances in the context of
Norwegian culture and the folk violin music
styles as they are interpreted by Grieg in his
piano pieces.

Keywords: E. Grieg, Norwegian music, Norwegian folklore, composer and folklore
