Among the leading figures of his time in Norwegian musical life, Geirr Tveitt was known as a composer, pianist and teacher. Much of his unpublished work was destroyed in a fire shortly before his death, but there remains a sufficient body of work, including six piano concertos, suites and other compositions.

Orchestral Music
Tveitt’s orchestral music draws on Norwegian folk traditions, with two concertos for the Hardanger fiddle, five piano concertos, suites and other works.

Piano Music
Tveitt’s piano music again often reflects the folk traditions of Norway, not least in the series of 50 folk-tunes from Hardanger.
