The six movements of the work are as follows: 1. Sylph 2. Gratitude 3. French Serenade 4. Brooklet 5. Phantom 6. Homeward The 'Lyric Pieces' are a collection of short piano pieces that Grieg composed throughout his career. They are characterized by their lyrical melodies, rich harmonies, and evocative titles. The pieces in Book 7 are no exception. The first movement, 'Sylph,' is a delicate and ethereal piece that features a flowing melody and a light, airy texture. The second movement, 'Gratitude,' is a more introspective piece that features a melancholy melody and a somber mood. The third movement, 'French Serenade,' is a lively and playful piece that features a jaunty melody and a dance-like rhythm. The fourth movement, 'Brooklet,' is a gentle and flowing piece that features a rippling melody and a peaceful mood. The fifth movement, 'Phantom,' is a mysterious and haunting piece that features a dark and brooding melody and a sense of unease. The final movement, 'Homeward,' is a triumphant and uplifting piece that features a soaring melody and a sense of joy and celebration. Overall, 'Lyric Pieces (6) Book 7, Op. 62' is a beautiful and evocative collection of piano pieces that showcases Grieg's mastery of melody, harmony, and mood. Each movement is a miniature masterpiece that captures a different aspect of the human experience, from the delicate beauty of nature to the haunting mysteries of the human psyche.
