Sonata in F Major Opus 8 for Violin and Piano (Peters) by Edvard Grieg
arranged by Maxim Jacobsen
Edvard Grieg wrote this sonata in 1865 while on a summer holiday with Benjamin Feddersen in Rungsted, Denmark, near Copenhagen. It was composed not long after his only piano sonata was completed. Regarding this work, the Norwegian composer Gerhard Schjelderup commented that it was "the work of a youth who has seen only the sunny side of life" However, many parts of the work are dark and turbulent in mood.
