Grieg’s Album Leaf pairs a sweetly ornamented melody with an accompaniment that springs repeatedly from bass notes to higher chords. Its two-beat rhythm gives the music a light, continuous motion.
The opening tune is decorated with grace notes and a brief chromatic flourish. In the contrasting passage, the moving line shifts into the bass while the upper part supplies short offbeat chords. These textures alternate twice more, and the familiar decorated melody brings the piece to a concise close.
An interesting detail is the exchange of roles between the hands: the middle passages give the lower voice the flowing tune and turn the upper voice into the accompaniment.
