@jeredkostenko: Well thanks so much for the kind words. This piece is a favorite of mine--just a very brief and very beautiful moment---

A lovely pace - neither too fast nor slow. I love these pieces by Grieg :-)

"Brief"... in dutch meaning : 'letter"...Isn't that a composition which sounds  a bit like a short letter sent to somebody, long time ago?...I can see, listening to this so beautifull piece, a very old and broken and abandoned music box, which is playing an old children's song, slowlier than when it wasn't broken yet....So "purely", wonderfully interpretated

Ha, my Grieg Lyrical pieces favorite... maybe because it's first in the book? Delicately played

indeed a very lyrical piece, as most of Griegs work. Love it!
