	Edvard Grieg
		Grieg was not extremely renowned as a concert pianist during his time, though he was always favourable and welcomed in Europe.
		Grieg was primarily a miniaturist - his main strength is devoted to small forms with simple plots, as shown in most of his piano pieces.
		Grieg was often inspired by the rich cultural heritage of his beloved homeland, and he transferre such inspiration into pure, beautiful melodies.

	Edvard Grieg — Biography of Norway's Greatest Composer
		Grieg's style was based on the German romantic tradition of music but bit by bit national awareness developed within him, coupled with a growing need to create a typical Norwegian style of 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 rhythms and harmonies that the folk musicians could coax out of their instruments.
		The project was abandoned, but Grieg's dramatic talents were put to a new test when Henrik Ibsen asked him to write the incidental music to "Peer Gynt." This was no easy task for Grieg, but the music he wrote became one of the major works of the 1870s.

	Edward Grieg - Masters Of Music
		Little Edward, one of five children, seemed to inherit the mother's musical talent and had vivid recollections of the rhythmic animation and spirit with which she played the works of Weber, who was one of her favorite composers.
		Grieg himself is described as very small and frail looking, with a face as individual, as unique and attractive as his music—the face of a thinker, a genius.
		Grieg's sixtieth birthday, June 15, 1903, was celebrated in the cities of Scandanavia, through-out Europe and also in America : thus he lived to see the recognition of his unique genius in many parts of the world.

	Lesson Tutor: Classical Composer Profile: Edvard Grieg
		Grieg's work was admired by composers as widely different as Liszt, Brahms, and Tchaikovsky — who met the Norwegian and described him as a man ‘of uncommon charm, blue eyes, not very large, but irresistibly fascinating.'
		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 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.

	Edward Grieg biography

	Edvard Hagerup Grieg
		Grieg was born June 15, 1843 in Bergen, Norway and died September 4, 1907 in Bergen, Norway.
		When Edward Grieg settled in Christiania, now Oslo, in 1866, he was influenced by the composer Otto Winter-Hjelm who knew how the elements of folk music could be used to create national of music.
		Da Edvard Grieg slo seg ned i Christiania, nå Oslo, i 1866, ble han påvirket av komponisten Otto Winter-Hjelm som visste hvordan elementer fra folkemusikk kunne bli brukt til å lage nasjonal musikk(??).

	Edvard Grieg (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The idea of an art and especially of a music which fully expressed the national character reached its fullest prominence in the latter half of the 19th century, during which time a considerable body of Norwegian folk music was collected and published.
		Between 1858-62 Grieg studied at the music conservatory in Leipzig, and his earliest works clearly belong in the tradition of German Romanticism.
		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.

		It was the Danish romantic composer Niels W. Gade, Grieg’s older friend and protector from Copenhagen, who encouraged the, at that time, young Norwegian composer to write a piano sonata.
		Grieg’s sonata is dedicated to N. Gade, it is written in the same key (E minor) as Gade’s, has also four movements and other similarities with its model.
		Grieg himself was particularly fond of this movement and used to play it as encore at his recitals.

		Edvard Grieg is by far Norway’s most celebrated composer, not least thanks to his two Peer Gynt suites.
		Curiously enough though, he was very close to not composing them: The equally famous Norwegian writer Henrik Ibsen asked him in 1874 to write music for his play ‘Peer Gynt’, which he had written 7 years earlier, in order to increase his chances to getting it performed.
		Grieg wasn’t very fond of the idea, but as he at the time suffered from a kind of negative cash flow—a phenomenon well known to many artists and often referred to as ‘being broke’—he finally agreed.

	Edward Grieg - Lyric Pieces RRC1071 [GPJ]: Classical Reviews- February 2002 MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Griegs Lyric Pieces make a fascinating chronicle of his composing career.
		Grieg spins a melancholy line of classical beauty here, and Austbø is able to catch perfectly that sadness combined with strength that is the musics special quality.
		I urge anyone who loves Grieg, or indeed piano music as a whole, to listen to this disc, which is a worthy competitor to Gilels on DG, showing perhaps even more affectionate responsiveness to the idiom of the music.

	Edward Grieg
		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 Slatter op.72, peasant fiddle-tunes arranged for piano.

	Edvard Grieg Homepage
		In the immortal Peer Gynt Suites, Grieg captured the rising of the sun, the lamenting of a death, and, in "The Hall of the Mountain King," the imagery of a chase scene.
		His works contained what are yet today readily recognizable "tunes." As Grieg and his wife, Nina, strolled through the streets of Bergen, children would follow after, whistling these tunes, in tribute to the great composer.
		In the centuries ahead, surely the works of Grieg will continue to be whistled and hummed, and played by orchestras worldwide.

	Grieg finds an unlikely champion - smh.com.au
		Leif Ove Andsnes is a pianist of sinewy strength and well-projected tonal power, an unlikely champion one might think for the intimate salon miniatures of his Norwegian compatriot Edward Grieg.
		Yet the selection of 17 of Grieg's Lyric Pieces sustained the listener's attention so well that the mobile phone which rang during the dying undulations of Cradle Song barely rippled the surface of musical concentration in the hall.
		It brought a welcome sense of weight and an opportunity to stretch one's attention span beyond the next album-leaf.
