A challenge, but beautiful
I found the pedaling instructions a bit difficult to implement. I am a beginning intermediate, so perhaps this is to be expected. My teacher has modified the pedaling instructions to keep the piece from being too overwhelming with my heavy foot. The fingering is ok - I've mixed some of the RHand with LHand for a more easily remembered, and perhaps more appropriately "wedding embrace of right and left hands of spouses". I wish the top section of page 3 were put into page 2. As good as it gets!

Amazing!
I went to a piano recital and heard this peice. My teacher thereafter gave it to me and I have loved it ever since. It's fun because your fingers move all over the board and it has an awesome beat! I reccomend this peice to anyone who loves challenges!

A beautiful piece!
This piece is beautiful and is one of my favorite pieces to play! It's a challenge, but it is very rewarding after you have learned it. I played this for a recital and people were standing and clapping because they liked it so much. It's very happy and cheerful. The music is spaced a bit close, but I would definately recommend it!

Great Student piece
A younger student named Tonya came to a lesson one day, holding this piece her older sister of 16 had performed. Tonya was 11 at the time. She said she wanted to learn it.....She is now playing it completely and musically after four months. I think she deserves a write up! So here it is........WAY TO GO TONYA!!!!! I now use this piece with other 11-12 year old students....it's a great technique builder as well as increase the maturity of a students playing.

True to Form
True to form, Grieg's Wedding Day at Troldhaugen is interesting and satisfying to play. Grieg's facility with the musical idioms of the early XXth century has direct appeal, even a certain pop or folk sensibility reminiscent of other great composers who had command of both the musical influences of their own time and of the past.
