Description
Albumblad, Op. 12 No. 7, comes from Book 1 of Grieg's Lyric Pieces, written in 1867 when the composer was still in his twenties. Simple in structure, it carries a clear, Nordic lyricism throughout. At just over a minute and modest in note count, it is a fitting piece for beginners learning to shape a singing melodic line.
A lifelong project by Grieg spanning 10 books and 66 pieces, reflecting Norwegian landscapes and folk music throughout.
