Grieg’s Wedding Day at Troldhaugen combines a lively, sharply accented march with a tender central song. Repeated chords, buoyant bass figures, and bright melodic leaps give the outer music its festive character.

The march begins quietly in a low register, then reappears higher with fuller chords. Short flourishes and rapidly alternating figures expand the texture, building toward a powerful return of the principal tune above sweeping accompaniment.

The central section becomes calmer and changes to a two-beat meter. A small descending melody passes between upper and lower voices over sustained harmonies; chromatic shifts deepen its color before the opening march returns.

In the coda, the march fragments gradually soften and spread across the keyboard. An interesting detail is the final surprise: after fading to an extremely quiet dynamic, the piece ends with one sudden, widely spaced fortissimo chord.
