"Erotikon" Op.43 No.5 - Written in 1886

"Wedding Dat at Troldhaugen" Op.65 No.6 (1897)- For it's light mood, & because it's the 1st Grieg Piece I heard. Originally Written under the title "The Well-Wishers are comming" in honour of the 50th Birthday Celebrations of a family friend, but memories of his own silver - wedding anniversary a few years earlier prompted Grieg to change the title.

For me these sum up Grieg's compositional nature - DREAMY
