Overview

Learn to play ""In the Hall of the Mountain King"" by Norwegian composer and pianist Edvard Grieg. Composed in 1875 for the sixth scene of act 2 of Henrik Ibsen's 1867 play ""Peer Gynt"". This piece was originally part of Opus 23 but was later extracted as the final piece of Peer Gynt, Suite No. 1, Op. 46. This is not standard sheet music notation; it's Piano Tab! Piano Tab is a method of learning featuring unique illustrations of sheet music. The most remarkable feature about this method is that it converts standard sheet music and uses letters instead of note symbols, so those who want to play the piano can learn in a much easier and more visual way. If you're a visual learner, intimidated by the complexities of traditional sheet music or simply looking for an additional tool to help you master this beautiful composition by Edvard Grieg, this is a must have book! Piano Tabs display right and left-hand fingering numbers with red and blue note letters. Someone with very little music reading ability could figure it out pretty quickly. Piano Tab illustrations by Joseph Caligiuri.

Author Information

I currently teach piano and guitar in Chico, California. My fascination for piano began a few years ago when I completely restored and tuned my 1901 Ivers & Pond upright piano. I absolutely love the sound of that piano but found myself frustrated because I could not produce the beautiful music, I know it was worthy of. Piano Tab was first created as a tool to help me learn to play a Bach Prelude on the piano. I am basically a guitar player that wants to also play piano. As a teacher of guitar and beginning piano, I appreciate and understand the value of reading music as well as playing by ear and with over 50 years' experience involved with music, I know that reading the grand staff of piano notation is difficult and slow for most musicians. Because this method of reading piano music works so well for me, it became my mission to share it to the world and music community to enjoy.
