Foster, Beryl The Songs of Edvard Grieg
Boydell Press 1843833433 Paperback Fine
269pp, music examples. Grieg's 180 songs are the least-known part of his output but reward study as they intimately mirror his artistic and personal development. In this first complete appraisal, Beryl Foster, who has performed all the songs, discusses each one in the context of the composer's life and analyses his word-setting and choice of texts by poets such as Ibsen and Bjornson. She also assesses the many editions of the songs and the translations which Grieg felt were often of poor quality. New copy. 10764
