Piano Music - Edvard Grieg

Edvard Grieg


1843 - 1907
Edvard Grieg was a Norwegian composer and pianist.



📖 "To have the ability to withdraw into oneself and forget everything around one when one is creating - What, I think is the only requirement for being able to bring forth something beautiful. The whole thing is - a mystery."


📖 "Suddenly a mist fell from my eyes and I knew the way I had to take."


📖 "Artists 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."


📖 “The realm of harmonies was always my dream-world."
In Letter to Henry T. Finck


📖 “If there is in my music anything of lasting value it will live; if not, it will perish. That is my belief, for I am convinced that truth will prevail ultimately."
In Letter to Henry T. Finck (1905)
