Edvard Grieg's "Studie, Op. 73/5" is a solo piano piece that was composed in 1895. It was premiered on March 4, 1896, in Leipzig, Germany, by the pianist Ferruccio Busoni. The piece is part of a set of ten studies that Grieg composed as a tribute to his friend and fellow composer, Niels Gade. "Studie, Op. 73/5" is a short and lively piece that is characterized by its playful and energetic nature. It is written in the key of E minor and is in 2/4 time. The piece is made up of two main sections, each of which is repeated. The first section is marked "Allegro con brio" and features a lively and syncopated melody that is played in the right hand. The left hand provides a steady accompaniment with a series of broken chords. The second section of the piece is marked "Poco meno allegro" and is more subdued than the first. It features a new melody that is played in the left hand, while the right hand provides a simple accompaniment with a series of chords. The two sections are then repeated, with the first section returning to its original tempo and character. Overall, "Studie, Op. 73/5" is a charming and delightful piece that showcases Grieg's skill as a composer. It is a testament to his ability to create music that is both technically challenging and musically engaging. The piece has become a popular choice for pianists and is often performed in recitals and competitions.
