Topic: Grieg: Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Anitra’s dance

Grieg: Peer Gynt Suite No. 1,  Anitra’s dance

When Peer was in Morocco, he met an Arab chief who had a beautiful daughter, Anitra. She danced for him in the tent and he fell in love and they rode away on her white horse. But, she stole all the money from him and rode away back, without Peer….
Poor he went home to Norway but the ship sank and he almost drowned but swam ashore….(Peer Gynt, Op. 23: III   Peer Gynt's Homecoming). Can’t play that one but it descibes the storm.

Again, among the most beautiful pieces in classical music…This is not a gorgeous performance at all of this piece, buI I try to ”keep it together” (although mistakes

edit:  an other awesome version on yt is   Stephanie Trick - "Anitra's Dance"   very very fast   !!!

Best,

Stig

I wonder how it would sound with a harpsichord (morphed or layered). As you make some nice combinations ...

a very fine performance!  i actually never knew what this theme was from although i've heard it many times (including your orchestral version).  i don't know much about Grieg's music.  just the famous morning theme (which has been so trivialized by its appropriation in many commercials, etc) and the piano concerto.
