Grieg (arr. Walker) - Three Songs, Op. 48 for Two Flutes and Piano - F
Elizabeth Walker has previously arranged four 'Songs Without Words' by Felix Mendelssohn as well as a Chaconne by Jean-Marie Leclair for two flutes and piano for ALRY Publications. These Three Songs by Edvard Grieg (1843 – 1907) have been selected from his Six Songs (Sechs Lieder) Opus 48, first published in 1889 by C.F. Peters. Grieg used various German texts and wrote all his songs for his wife Nina. He wrote to his biographer Henry T Finck, “My songs came to life naturally and through a necessity like that of a natural law, and all of them were written for her.” Songs included are: The Way of the World (Lauf der Welt), The Secretive Nightingale (Die verschwiegene Nachtigall), and A Dream (Ein Traum).
