Product Description

The Holberg Suite, Op. 40, more properly From Holberg's Time, subtitled "Suite in olden style", is a suite of five movements based on eighteenth-century dance forms, written by Edvard Grieg in 1884 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Dano-Norwegian humanist playwright Ludvig Holberg. It exemplifies nineteenth-century music which makes use of musical styles and forms from the preceding century. Although not as famous as Grieg's incidental music from Peer Gynt, which is itself usually performed as arranged in a pair of suites, many critics regard the works as of equal merit.

In this arrangement for string quartet we have the very famous first movement of the suite: Praeludium (Prelude). It reflects faithfully the original for string orchestra and it is suitable for any occasion: repertoire, classroom or recital.
