Editing Hardanger fiddle (section)

==Influences==
[[Edvard Grieg]] adapted many hardanger folk tunes into his compositions, and composed tunes for the hardanger as part of his score for [[Ibsen]]'s ''[[Peer Gynt]]'' Suite No. 1. The opening phrase of "[[Morning Mood|Morning]]" from Grieg's ''Peer Gynt'' music is derived from the tuning of the sympathetic strings of the hardanger fiddle: A F{{Music|#}} E D E F{{Music|#}} and so on.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3coWeMy2wZYC&q=opening+phrase+of+%22Morning%22+from+Grieg's+Peer+Gynt+and+Hardanger+fiddle&pg=PA250 |title=The Songs of Edvard Grieg |first=Beryl|last=Foster |date=17 October 2018 |publisher=Boydell Press |isbn=9781843833437 |via=Google Books}}</ref>

In recent years, the instrument has gained recognition in the rest of the world. Japan has been one of the countries that has found an interest in the hardingfele and Japanese musicians travel to Norway just to learn to play this instrument. In 1997, the Australian [[Contemporary classical music|classical composer]] [[Liza Lim]] wrote the piece ''Philtre'' for a solo hardanger fiddle, and she also includes the instrument in her work ''Winding Bodies: 3 Knots'' (2013–14).<ref>{{cite web

Another recent work is "mobius II" for hardanger fiddle and electronics by the British composer Rose Dodd (2011, premiered at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival by Britt Pernille Froholm).
