Ase's Death (Grieg) | Behind the Score, Ep. 47 (Patreon)

We're going back to some classical music this time with the second movement of the Peer Gynt Suite, No. 1 (Op. 46) by Edvard Grieg. It's a hauntingly beautiful piece that seems to be longing for what is no longer there...and he achieves this sound via the use of several augmented sixth chords that resolve in non-standard ways. The result is a sad but sublime piece. Enjoy!
