Edvard
Grieg (1843-1907) was a
celebrated figure in the
European music scene in
his own lifetime. Warmly
welcomed and recommended
by Liszt and highly
esteemed by Brahms and
Tchaikovsky, he took the
concert halls by storm
with his compositions,
influenced by the
late-Romantic spirit and
advancing as far as
musical Impressionism,
such the Piano Concerto,
the music of Ibsen's Peer
Gynt and numerous songs.
His Lyrical Pieces
delighted all
piano-playing music
lovers.Grieg had studied
at the Leipzig
Conservatoire and once
called himself 'musically
speaking, entirely
German'. After his return
to his home country, he
listened with rapt
attention to the songs
and dances of the
Norwegian farmers and
developed his
characteristic style on
the basis of this music.
To him, that was not only
a musical, but also a
political issue. Grieg, a
master of poetry in
music, was both an active
democrat and a patriot,
his ideals being justice
and humanity.
Edvard Grieg (1843-1907)
