Oh, that's a gorgeous, sensitive rendition. Of late I've been (re-)learning Erik Satie's Gymnopédies transcribed for classical guitar; realizing that some of Grieg's Lyric Pieces have been transcribed as well gives me more to look forward to playing. By the way, I read recently (at https://paulcrossleypianist.com/grieg-lyric-pieces/ if you're curious) that Debussy was strongly influenced by Grieg. One can definitely hear that in this piece! Thanks for sharing.

I'm glad you like it, Peter. Wilhelmy's YT channel has only one other Grieg piece on guitar, but I'd be surprised if he's the only guitar player transcribing classical pieces.

Thank you for the link! I am curious and will be reading that piece and listening to Debussy.

Listening to it right now. Gorgeous. We've been having intermittent rainstorms here going into Christmas eve, but the sun just came out. Perfect.
