Grieg

Grieg
Norwegian composer. Born in Bergen to a Scottish father and a Norwegian mother. Studied at the Leipzig Conservatory, and made his debut as a pianist and composer in his hometown in 1862. In 1864 he met Norwegian composer R. Norløk (1842-1866) in Copenhagen, and solidified his inclination towards nationalistic music rooted in the musical traditions of his country. In 1866 he settled in Christiania (now Oslo), and thereafter worked as a conductor in various places. He was active in establishing musical societies in Copenhagen and Oslo to introduce Norwegian composers, and played a leading role in establishing Norwegian national music. His representative works include the theatre music Peer Gynt (1874-1875) and its two orchestral suites, the Piano Concerto in A minor (1868), the ten piano pieces Lyric Pieces (1867-1901), the Cello Sonata (1883), and three violin sonatas (1865, 1867, 1886-1887). He also composed many masterpieces of songs.
