My teacher recommended to me the Dover edition for all of the Grieg Lyric pieces, not to sure what the others are like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The Dover book of the Lyric Pieces are reprints from all the Edition Peters, which published most of Griegs piano music during his lifetime. Both Peters and Grieg did well from each other, and these are the originals. It's only around a tenner and you get all 66 lyric pieces, which vary considerably in style, but are all beautifully crafted pieces. I'd say the Dover Edition is the best bet, but each book of the Lyric pieces is available seperately, and I'm quite sure Wedding Day is available as a single piece from EP.

I see that the piece I mentioned is in the complete set of Lyric Pieces, so is it just worth getting the whole collection of 66?

I'd think so, it works out at just over 22 pence a piece (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

With these books you should open them in the middle and bend them back a bit, and hold it like that for a while, do it every now and then, and it should be ok. There's so many gems in this collection, my favourites are Woodland Peace, Erotikon, Butterfly, Brooklet, At thy feet, Phantom, definitely recommend getting the complete set. And if anyones not got Emil Gilels recording on DG, i would strongly recommend that too, he really brings out the colours and intimacy of these pieces, just wish he'd recorded all of them.
