More at home in smaller forms than in large formal structures, composing these pieces came naturally to Grieg, to the extent that he half-jokingly complained in a letter to his close friend, the Dutch composer Julius Roentgen : "... I have been lyric once again. Can't you please cure me of this affliction?". Theirever-fresh inspiration, distinct Norwegian flavour, and occasional flashes of virtuosity offer great opportunities for enterprising performers.
