Chapters 0:00 Level 1 – One finger (Very easy) 0:29 Level 2 – Melody + bass (Easy) 1:07 Level 3 – Melody + left-hand beat (Medium) 1:42 Level 4 – Grieg's original (Hard) 2:15 Level 5 – The finale, 154→172 (Hard) 3:04 The full piece (Grieg, complete) Level 1 – one finger, right hand only (♩=100) Level 2 – melody plus one bass note per harmony (♩=112) Level 3 – melody with Grieg's left-hand beat (♩=126) Level 4 – Grieg's own piano version (♩=138) Level 5 – the finale: Grieg writes "sempre stretto sin al fine" (keep pressing forward to the end) – we accelerate from ♩=154 to ♩=172 Bonus – the full piece: Grieg's complete piano version, all 88 bars, from the quiet start in the bass to the stretto finale Difficulty stars are computed from the notes themselves (speed, both hands, chords, black keys, hand span) – not guessed. About the piece: Grieg wrote "In the Hall of the Mountain King" in 1875 for Ibsen's play Peer Gynt and published his own piano version in 1888. The theme starts quietly in the bass and gets louder and faster with every repetition until the trolls explode. Levels 1–3 are our own simplified arrangements; levels 4–5 follow Grieg's piano version (Op. 46 No. 4). Letters show the name of each key (black keys named with #). Which level can you play?
