		Edvard Hagerup Grieg (1843-1907) byl malé, křehké postavy se světlými zvlněnými vlasy a modrýma očima, které přitahovaly každého na první pohled.
		Edvard Grieg, který celý život zápasil s nepevným zdravím, nebyl tvůrcem velkých symfonických forem ani opery, zato však dokázal upoutat komorností svých děl, ať to byly jeho proslavené Lyrické kusy pro klavír, uspořádané do deseti sešitů, 5myčcový kvartet g-moll, violoncellová sonáta nebo tři sonáty pro housle.
		Edvard Grieg bezmezně miloval norskou přírodu, její hory se zasněženými vrcholy, studená mořská pobřeží s jitřním zářením ledovců, jasné měsíční noci, chladné fjordy a rozsáhlé lesy nedotčené civilizací, měl úctu k prostým lidem, kteří se dokázali vyrovnat s drsností a někdy až příliš studenou krásou této země.

		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.
		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 "Slåtter" op.72, peasant fiddle-tunes arranged for piano.
