Grieg first wrote and published the Norwegian Dances as Piano duets in 1881.
There are 4 Dance movements.
The four movements are derived from traditional Norwegian folk tunes contained in a collection published in 1853 by Ludvig Mathias Lindemans, entitled, “Mountain Melodies Old and New.”
They were not orchestrated by Grieg, but later, in 1888, Hans Sitt, a distinguished Czech violinist, did the honors. They have become orchestral chestnuts ever since.
Almost everyone has heard the demure, sly and winsome second dance - this one -it’s ubiquitous. A brief, but furious halling interrupts for just a few seconds, and then the familiar theme returns.
