| Â | Grieg, Edvard (1843 - 1907) |
 | | Grieg's three violin sonatas remain a part of standard romantic repertoire, revealing his mastery of harmonic colour in the clearest of textures. | | | Grieg collaborated with the dramatist Bjørnson in the play Sigurd Jorsalfar, for which he provided incidental music, and still more notably with Ibsen in Peer Gynt. |

| | 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 ' |

| | 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 Grieg's best-known pieces are his Piano Concerto in A minor, the Holberg Suite (for string orchestra), and ten volumes of Lyric Pieces (for piano). | | | Educated at the Leipzig Conservatory, and later by the Danish composer Niels W. Gade, Grieg is noted as a nationalist composer, drawing inspiration from Norwegian folk music. | | | He also wrote three sonatas for piano and violin, and his many short pieces for piano - often built on Norwegian folk dances - led some to call him the Chopin of the north. |

| | Grieg participated actively in the musical life of Christiania (Oslo) and Bergen; and as a pianist, conductor and composer he undertook several highly successful concert tours of Europe. | | | But he gradually develops a more subtly chromatic harmonic language, combining it with rhythmic and melodic elements borrowed from Norwegian folk music. | | | Indeed for several generations, the name of Grieg has been synonymous with the concept of Norwegian music. |

| | *Benestad og Schjelderup Ebbe: Edvard Griegs Chamber Music. | | | The Grieg network's objective will be to spread information about Grieg's music through the written word and music. | | | 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. |

| | For his original and characteristically lyrical songs, he used texts by Norwegian poets, and he made settings of Norwegian folk songs that he had collected. | | | His wife, the singer Nina Hagerup Grieg, was an outstanding interpreter of his songs. | | | He continued, however, to write songs with German texts in the style of Mendelssohn and Schumann, a style that also permeates his piano pieces. |
