In the Hall of the Mountain King: Sheet (Simply Classics Solos)

My 6-yr-old grandson was intrigued with the music from watching a video and I was happy to find this piano version that he can manage. He is at the level of beginning Suzuki Piano Volume 2. This is a great addition to the Suzuki repertoire. He loves playing it and putting drama into it. That was what I was after...getting him to FEEL excited about the music he is playing. I did change the dynamics to the last few measures, which were written with diminuendo, but the orchestral version and the piano version from Schirmer showed a crescendo. He loved showing the possible story behind the music...Peer Gynt tip toeing out of the mountain but ended up being chased by the gnomes and goblins. and thrown into the dungeons at the end. Practising this piece helped him improved his ability to control his dynamics, to play very sharp staccatos at rapid speeds and to play with enthusiasm!

The music is great. I love the 'Simply Classics' arrangements for my young piano students. My only complaint is that the music was slightly bent when it arrived. Perhaps had not been taken care of before shipping. I always try to get pristine music for my students' recital pieces.

My piano students love these arrangements! This piece is especially popular; it is very dramatic-sounding.

I received a wrinkly music sheet and the replacement was folded in half.

As expected!

Great arrangement of this tune!
