Let us analyze the above piece of music by listening as a casual listener, a referential listener, a perceptive listener, and then finally as a critical listener to this incidental music titled "In the Hall of the Mountain King" timing 0:00 to 2:29 from the play "Peer Gynt" by Edvard Grieg.

Include all four types of listeners in your descriptions and use the terms Dynamics, Timbre, Pitch, Tempo, and Accelerando to address how Grieg achieves unity and variety in this music.

Ask yourself if this piece has any specific connotation? If so, what is it? Why does it have a specific connotation?
