Well, a rather nice run through Grieg's talents is the music to "Peer Gynt". Rather notorious is the "Hall of the Mountain king". Everybody knows that, really. Still quite known are "Morning mood" and "Solveig's song". Nobody knows anything from Alkan, in contrast. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
