GRIEG Symphonic Dances, Op 64

The four Symphonic Dances of the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, form the collection notated as Op. 64. They were written c. 1896 and published in 1897. They draw their inspiration from the earlier folk works collected by Ludvig Mathias Lindeman, a Norwegian composer and organist who was most noted for compiling Norwegian folk music.
