Edvard Grieg Sheet Music

Edvard Grieg

Edvard Hagerup Grieg (b. June 15, 1843 in Bergen, † September 4. September 1907 in Bergen), abbreviated Edvard Grieg (sometimes found as Edward or Eduard Grieg), was a Norwegian composer and pianist of the Romantic period and creator of such well-known melodies as "In the Hall of the Mountain King" and "Solvejgs Lied".
Grieg, whose compositional focus was primarily on chamber and piano music, knew how -like his Russian colleague of the same age, Rimsky-Korsakov- to skillfully combine current stylistic devices of late Romanticism with elements of folk music. His songs with settings of texts by Heine, Ibsen, and Goethe, the song cycle Haugtussa, op. 67 and three choral works, together with the colorful orchestral works, round out his oeuvre. The latter include drama music, suites, two symphonies, and the Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in A minor, op. 16, his only piano concerto completed by Grieg.
