Grieg, Edvard - Sonata No 1 in F Major, Op 8 - Violin and Piano - edited by Finn Benestad - Edition Peters URTEXT

The F-major sonata was Grieg's first attempt in this field. Though he did not play a string instrument himself, the sonata demonstrates a convincing talent for string writing, the violin part being adeptly and idiomatically written. The national colouring found in the second movement manifests stylistic features that were to be further utilized and exploited in a number of Grieg's later chamber-music works.- from the Preface by Prof. Dr. Finn BenestadURTEXT edition. Includes piano score and violin part.
