Edvard Grieg 4 Norwegian Dances Op.35Arranged wind dectet/bass.NB Clarinet parts are for CLARINET in A.This is my arrangement of No 2Thanks to Runyon programm notes for the following extract..... (https://www.runyanprogramnotes.com)Grieg first wrote and published the Norwegian Dances as Piano duets in 1881.There are 4 Dance movements.The four movements are derived from traditional Norwegian folk tunes contained in a collection published in 1853 by Ludvig Mathias Lindemans, entitled, “Mountain Melodies Old and New.†They were not orchestrated by Grieg, but later, in 1888, Hans Sitt, a distinguished Czech violinist, did the honors.  They have become orchestral chestnuts ever since.Almost everyone has heard the demure, sly and winsome second dance - this one -it’s ubiquitous.  A brief, but furious halling interrupts for just a few seconds, and then the familiar theme returns.© 2015 William E.
