Last comments for this composer:

Rualark 2015-06-05 09:53:56	Fauré sounds more classical, impressionistic (masks and bergamasks), transparent (piano). Grieg sounds more melodic, repetitive, energetic. Only Fauré has piano with violin, piano with cello, french vocal. Only Grieg has string orchestra. Watch out for Grieg string orchestra (Holdberg variations), which sounds baroque. (Fauré, Grieg)
Rualark 2015-05-28 08:53:26	Grieg sounds more simple, repetitive, transparent (solo piano). Often (piano concerto) energetic and excessive. Only Grieg has string orchestra. Only Tchaikovsky has piano+violin+cello. (Grieg, Tchaikovsky)
Rualark 2015-03-07 10:22:14	Compare two of the most known late romantic scandinavian composers. Grieg sounds more simple, romantic. Sibelius sounds more complex, slow, serious, even dissonant. Only Grieg has solo piano, piano concerto. Only Sibelius has violin concerto. (Grieg, Sibelius)
Rualark 2015-02-08 18:43:08 1	Should be no problem to guess mass (Bruckner), piano, songs, chamber and dances (Grieg). You might have more difficult time guessing symphonic works: Bruckner sounds to me more serious, slow, wide and dark in this game. (Bruckner, Grieg)
