Schott Music Mein erster Grieg

The Norwegian pianist and composer Edvard Grieg brought his homeland to the attention of everyone during the late Romantic period. In his piano, chamber and vocal music, as well as in his stage music and orchestral suites, he took his cue from Norwegian folk music and made it accessible to a wide audience. By the end of the 19th century he was one of the most listened to musicians and popularized the musical world of Norway. Even today, melodies such as "Morgenstimmung" are universally known and popularly interpreted.
