Grieg
Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) was a Norwegian composer and pianist whose music became one of the defining sounds of Scandinavian Romanticism. Born in Bergen, he studied in Leipzig and later drew deeply on Norwegian folk melody, rhythm and landscape.
His works include the Piano Concerto in A minor, the incidental music to Peer Gynt, the Lyric Pieces for piano, songs, chamber music and orchestral dances. Many of these works...
