Classical Wednesdays 2024 Chapter 7: Edvard Grieg

Wednesday, the 14th of August, at 22:30, the Mahogani team invites you for a late night classical concert. This time we celebrate the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) by performing his second sonata for violin and piano in G major. When Grieg presented this piece to his teacher Niels Gade, he labelled the piece as ‘too Norwegian’. Grieg was furious and replied that he would compose another violin sonata, which he would make even more Norwegian! We will let you decide how Norwegian this sonata is exactly. As a introduction to the key of g minor, a modern piece for piano and electronics is on the program by Dutch composer Simon Burgers, inspired on the music of violin virtuoso Paganini.
See you Wednesday!
