Norwegian composer and pianist (1843–1907)
Norwegian composer who saturated the Romantic era with folk melodies and made his country's music impossible to ignore. Grieg's piano concertos and orchestral work planted Norway on the classical map while he was still alive.
Edvard Hagerup Grieg was a Norwegian composer and pianist. He is widely considered one of the leading Romantic era composers, and his music is part of the standard classical repertoire worldwide. His use of Norwegian folk music in his own compositions brought the music of Norway to fame, as well as helping to develop a national identity, much as Jean Sibelius did in Finland and Bedřich Smetana in Bohemia.
