This Channel is Extremely Underrated.
God bless you sir.
A perfect fit for my rainy day mood, Paul.
I particularly enjoyed the beautiful fit you created of the photos throughout the middle section - the juxtaposition of the hopeful start of a marriage with the maturity and realities of a lifetime... youth through old age.
Beautifully done. A marriage of your artist's eye with your artist's ear.
Thank you!

This is an absolutely amazing piece to play and learn! I taught it to myself as a teenager. I’m 67 now and I can still play it from memory. But I can’t play or remember the Beethoven Opus 109 sonata I learnt in 1983……
Thank you for your fresh and enlightening instructions. I would like to comment though on the "meaning" of quiet middle section: I think it depicts the wedding ceremony, where the priest (right hand) recites the ceremonial words which are then repeated by the bridegroom (left hand). And then its the brides turn (higher, B-major) to repeat . . .
Yeah I thought the same thing
Top, enthusiastic and generous teaching. Thank you, most educational.
I love this piece of music. Hope to visit Grieg's house next year.
I really liked this. I can't play the piano but Natalie and I have just come back from a cruise to Norway and heard this piece when we visited Grieg's house. Together with the pictures your video provided some lovely memories. Thanks Paul.
Dear Paul:
I just found this beautiful tutorial/interpretation of yours. You my friend are a genius!
Fantastic lesson Paul.
"Unintentional notes" - great line - I'm very familiar with those. ;-)
Your expressive playing along with the terrific presentation made this very enjoyable. Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into these great videos.

Thank you Paul. I wouldn't have known about this gem of a piece if it weren't for you. Fantastic stuff you are doing here!
It’s a real GEM!!
Oh, this piece is absolutely delightful! I have attempted it a couple of hears ago, and will get back to it. Thanks for the tutorial!
Love all of your tutorials. Thank you!
Beautifully-prepared score and an insightful tutorial too. I've always loved Grieg's brand of harmony.
That piano's tone is exactly what I look for in this piece. Nice.
I have two observations to make. Somehow, I can't help but feel this piece inspired Richard Rodgers of Rodgers and Hammerstein, to write the March of the Siamese Children for the King and I. Not only do I think it inspired him, but Gene de Paul! Who is he? He wrote the music for Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. In that musical, the Love Duet called Falling in Love seems to be almost a direct take from the "Nina & Edvard" love duet in the slow section of this piece! Give a listen to both and see if I'm not far off!
Love your videos, so helpful to hear songs and see your hands and learning fingering to make difficult passages so much more manageable! Thank you
Grieg would appreciate Paul's remarkable work.
always happy learning here~
a smile face in the end...awesome!

that part is so great
Wow, amazing tutorial :) Thank you so much for making this! :D I'm Norwegian and I love Grieg's work, but I never learned to play by sheets so I usually play by ear. But some songs are more difficult than others and this tutorial was extremely helpful ^^
informative! This was an amazing tutorial - where were you when I was studying piano as kid - o yeah - no Utube… thanks just the same for such a great commentary on a beautiful, joyful piece of Grieg's music!
Great tutorial! By the way, what model Yamaha are you playing? It sounds amazing.
Very nice and clear teaching, understood all ;-), love how easily it looks when you play that (for me) difficult piece. Kind and unfortunatek
Thanks for your advice Paul. As always helpful, generous and informative. Keep up your great work.
Great video Paul! I am envious of you trudging in the tropical garden, while we are in bitter cold. Of course we have snow for Christmas :-)
Thank you for your very informative tutorial, Paul! It really helps me understand music better when you explain the composer is trying to do/convey.
Wonderful video!!! And the music sounds so good especially when you are teaching!
A very nice piece - and nice playing, Paul!
Great Video!
This is awesome!! you're the best
Hello, there is a spot with left hand chords that are bigger than a full octave. My hand cannot possibly reach that far. Any ideas? Leave one note out? :(
Lauren I play them as a broken chord!
rockinstrawberries you could play the e flat and the b flat together and then quickly the f. Or you could just play the e flat and b flat togther. Lucky for me i can strech it
Thanks Paul fantastic from start to end : )
Thanks! This really helped me a lot!
I have such a hard time playing the part at 4:41 although I have been practicing for years - my hands are small and I keep hitting the wrong notes. Any advice? I can't use my 4th finger since it's only possible for me to reach an octave by using my pinky and my thumb. I want to learn it so bad!!
Cecilie Hviid OMG same!!!! (I have tiny hands!!1! It's frustrating!)
Cecilie Hviid Honestly I'd recommend to just keep practicing.
Same here, but take it from me, persistence pays off! Thought I could never play this piece, worked on it diligently for a year, and I can play the whole thing - not quite as fast as Paul - but at a good speed. Not perfected yet (nothing ever is), but continuing to work at it regularly is what gets you there. I can play the spot you mentioned, and it surprised the heck out of me when it finally happened! The best advice I ever got for playing was to always pick at least 1 piece to work on that you thought you'd never be able to play. Since I adopted that approach, I've played and surpassed my own self-imposed limits so many times I've lost count. Every time I achieve what I thought was impossible, it opens the door to something else I'd never have discovered before. Don't give up, Cecille! Don't ever give up! Don't put time limits on your learning, and be gentle on yourself. The brain and body need periods of rest and relaxation to grow and integrate all the new learning. Can't tell you how many times I've skipped a day or 2 practicing a piece, or even playing anything, then come back to it and blown through a particular section that was giving me trouble before. Your body is amazing and you are limited only by what you believe you can't achieve. Much love, and all my best in your endeavors!
Amazing!!!!
Thank you!
Paul have you any advice for achieving the stretch of a 9th on the bass E Flat chord in the fast sections? I am learning this for the LCM Diploma exam? Do you think it is acceptable to play it as a broken chord? Great performance.
Agreed
reminds me of some of bartok's harmonies and rhythms
