Grieg’s third volume was written and published in 1886 and consists of six pieces, of which ‘To Spring’ – a fantastic showpiece for pianists to conquer – appears as the last. The Op 43 volume contains some of Grieg’s most descriptively titled , such as ‘Butterfly’ (Sommerfugl), ‘Solitary traveller’ (Ensom vandrer), ‘In my homeland’ (I hjemmet), ‘Little bird’ (Liten fugl) – which appears a few pages earlier – and ‘Erotikon’ (Erotikk).
