	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.

	Grieg
		Grieg studied under Wenzel at the Leipzig Conservatory, where he became familiar with early Romantic music (especially Schumann's), gaining further experience in Copenhagen and encouragement from Niels Gade.
		Grieg was first and foremost a lyrical composer.
		Grieg was also 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.

	Grieg, Edvard Hagerup. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Grieg developed a strongly nationalistic style which made him known as “the Voice of Norway.” He received piano lessons from his mother and later studied at the Leipzig Conservatory.
		Influenced by N. Gade, Grieg at first wrote in the idiom of German romanticism, but after 1864, when the composer Richard Nordraak (1842–65) introduced him to Norwegian folk music, he turned to the heritage of his own country.
		Grieg’s impressionistic harmonies, and his use of short melodic phrases, influenced later composers such as Debussy, Tchaikovsky, MacDowell, and Sibelius.

	Edvard Grieg - an overview of the classical composer and his music
		Grieg returned to Norway with a new confidence, founded the Norwegian Academy of Music and gave the first official performance of the Piano Concerto.
		Grieg became celebrated across Europe and was given an annuity by the government which allowed him to give up teaching and concentrate on composing and promoting his music through concert tours.
		Like Schumann, Grieg's music sets out to be attractive and balanced rather than powerful with big dramatic statements in the German tradition, and his songs show his essentially romantic nature.

	Edvard Grieg: Piano Concerto In A minor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Grieg's model was undoubtedly Schumann's piano concerto, a work which had made an "unforgettable impression" on him the first time he heard it, played by Clara Schumann, in Leipzig in 1858.
		The elements of folk music are most clearly evident in the third movement, where characteristics of the halling (in 2/4 time) and the springar (in 3/4 time) appear.
		The music of the traditional Hardanger fiddle is subtly suggested in the piano part, with pedal-point effects, open fifths, and sharp dissonances.
