On September 4, 2013 I wrote: In Memory of Edvard Hagerup Grieg (Norwegian: [ˈɛdʋɑʁd ˈhɑːgəʁʉp ˈgʁɪg]; 15 June 1843 – 4 September 1907), 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 and development of Norwegian folk music in his own compositions put the music of Norway in the international spectrum, as well as helping develop a national identity, much like Jean Sibelius and Antonín Dvořák did in Finland and Bohemia. (Wiki) Probably best known for his Peer Gynt Suites I prefer: Edvard Grieg - Piano Concerto in A minor Op. 16 youtube/watch?v=fKfGDqXEFkE
