The 1890s were years of relative peace for the widely traveled Grieg: he had recently taken up permanent residence at Troldhaugen, and the music world had begun to confer distinctions and honors on the beloved 53-year-old Norwegian composer. Out of this fertile period Grieg's second nationalist period was born--a fresh exploration of his country's rich treasury of folk music and the birth of his four evocative Symphonic Dances (on Norwegian Themes), Op. 64. Scored for large orchestra and dipping into a rich palette of instrumental colors, the Dances are consider among Grieg's strongest, most mature pieces for orchestra. Unabridged republication of the first edition by C. F. Peters, Leipzig, 1898. [9 x 12, 128 pp.].
