EDVARD GRIEG
15 June 1843 – 4 September 1907
Renowned as a concert pianist during his time, Edvard Hagerup Grieg was a Norwegian composer and pianist. He is widely considered as one of the leading Romantic era composers, and his music is part of the standard classical repertoire worldwide.
"It is great to have friends
when one is young, but indeed
it is still more so when you are
getting old.
Suddenly a mist fell from
my eyes and I knew the
way I had to take.
Artistes like Bach and Beethoven erected
churches and temples on the heights.
I only wanted... to build dwellings for men in
which they might feel happy and at home."
