Composer of the Week

Edvard Grieg (1843 - 1907)

Part 2

With Donald Macleod.

After completing his musical education at the Leipzig Conservatory, Grieg went to Copenhagen, the cultural capital of Scandanavia, where he met and was influenced by the Danish composer Niels Gade. A few years later he was encouraged to throw off that influence, forge a style of his own and write music that would bring honour to Norway by two very nationalistic men, his distant cousin Ole Bull and his friend Rikard Nordraak.
