Waltz, from Lyric Pieces, op. 12 no. 2 (viola cello duo)

Title: Waltz, from Lyric Pieces, op. 12 no. 2

Composer: Edvard Grieg, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Viola and Cello

Printout: 4 pages

Note: An engaging and characteristic piece, this waltz is one of Grieg’s best known and most popular pieces for solo piano, and because of its light texture it transcribes very well for small ensembles. This setting for viola and cello shares the primary thematic material between the two instruments.
