| | Odin - Edvard Grieg |
| | Later, Grieg went in search of folk music in its native environment; the written notes of folk music could only imperfectly reproduce the special atmosphere and the almost magical rythms and harmonies that the folk musicians could coax out of their instruments. | | | The release of historic Grieg recordings on CD had an impact on the discussion concerning the interpretation of Grieg. | | | This fruit of Grieg's early years was certainly nothing to be ashamed of, and it provides today's listeners with a broader view of Grieg's artistic and musical development. |

| | Kennedy Center: Biographical information for Edvard Grieg |
| | Grieg was a diversified composer, and produced chamber music, violin, cello and piano sonatas, symphonic works, but the majority of his compositions were for vocal and choral performances, in which his highly talented wife was frequently featured. | | | Although Grieg was never happy at the conservatory, he gained a broad understanding of musical composition through hearing the many concerts in the commmunity of Leipzig by the continual stream of world famous performers who came to play at the Leipzig Gewandhaus. | | | He moved to Copenhagen, the cultural and musical center of Scandinavian life, where he was encouraged and mentored by Nils Gade, then one of the leading musical figures in Copenhagen. |

| | Lesson Tutor: Classical Composer Profile: Edvard Grieg |
| | Grieg was a musical patriot, and like many other nationalist composers, turned for inspiration to native folk song and dance, and this flavour flows steadily through nearly everything he wrote. | | | Grieg made up two Suites (groups of pieces) from his incidental music to Peer Gynt especially for concert performance, and among the other tunes in these Suites are the well known and popular pieces ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King' | | | In the evening, Grieg sat down at the new piano and played the lovely tribute to his marriage. |

| | The first and second of Grieg's violin sonatas are agreeable, so free and artless is the flow of their melody. | | | As a composer Grieg's distinguishing quality is lyrical. | | | Sometimes, as in the music to Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt, or in the suite for stringed orchestra, Aus Holbergs Zeit, this characteristic is combined with a strong power for raising pictures in the listener's mind, and the romantic "programme" tendency in Grieg's music became clearer the further writers like Richard Strauss carried this movement. |

| | Composer Edvard Grieg's lyric pieces are very developed and multidimensional in their own right, but as with all classical music, they need a perfect performer who understands both the technical and emotional aspects of the music in order for the piece to be truly effective. | | | Pianist Emil Gilels is just that performer on this record. | | | The upbeat "Puck Op.71, No.6: Andante Doloroso" adds a little more variation to Gilels' already diverse assortment of Grieg's music. |

| | Grieg was first and foremost a lyrical composer; his op.33 Vinje settings, for example, encompass a wide range of emotional expression and atmospheric colour, and the ten opus numbers of Lyric Pieces for piano hold a wealth of characteristic mood-sketches. | | | But he also was a pioneer, in the impressionistic uses of harmony and piano sonority in his late songs and in the dissonance treatment in the Slatter op.72, peasant fiddle-tunes arranged for piano. | | | Among his later works, The Mountain Thrall op.32 for baritone, two horns and strings, the String Quartet in g Minor op.27, the popular neo-Baroque Holberg Suite (1884) and the Haugtussa song cycle op.67 (1895) are the most distinguished. |
