In the Hall of the Mountain King
Edvard Grieg, 1875 · Alla marcia e molto marcato · 26 keys · EasyAbout the piece
In Ibsen’s play Peer Gynt, Peer sneaks into the hall of the troll king, and the trolls close in on him. Grieg’s music starts quietly in the low strings and repeats the same theme faster and louder until it explodes.
You play the theme, the notes taken from the score and moved to E minor to fit the 17 keys.
