Who Was Edvard Grieg?

Edvard Grieg (1843–1907) was a Norwegian composer and pianist who is best known for his contributions to the Romantic era of classical music. He was one of the leading composers of the 19th century and his music has remained popular into the 21st century. Grieg is particularly famous for pieces like "In the Hall of the Mountain King" from his "Peer Gynt" Suite, as well as his "Piano Concerto in A minor." His "Lyric Pieces" for solo piano are also highly regarded and are often performed today. Grieg drew inspiration from Norwegian folk music, integrating it into his compositions to create a distinct national style. This made him a national hero in Norway and an important figure in the nationalist movement in Romantic music.
