Overview: Edvard Hagerup Grieg (15 June 1843 4 September 1907) 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(Submitted on July 19, 2024.)as helping to develop a national identity, much as Jean Sibelius did in Finland and Bedřich Smetana in Bohemia.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, July 11, 20242.

2. Edvard Grieg.
Excerpt (in translation): Although Grieg's name is linked to Bergen and Troldhaugen, it was in Christiania that he started his career as a musician and composer in 1866 and built up his world fame. He had permanent residence in the capital, more or less continuously, for 11 years until 1877.(Submitted on July 19, 2024.)
Here he composed the violin sonata in G major and published the first booklet of Lyrical pieces opus 12. In 1872 he composed music for Sigurd Jorsalfar which was first performed at the Christiania theater and Landkjnenning which was first performed at Akershus fortress. The opera fragment Olav Trygvasson and the song cycle Fiskerjenten (Bjψrnson) with The First Meeting were written in 1873.
