Edvard+Grieg

Edvard Grieg was born in Bergen, Norway on June 15, 1843. His first teacher was his mother. She was a wonderful pianist. Because Edvard was also a very good musician, at the age of 15 he was sent to study in Germany. Grieg is best known for the music he wrote for Henrik Ibsen’s play, Peer Gynt. People in Norway love is to tell stories about trolls and elves. Trolls are usually little, mischievous men who have some magical ways. They are not always very nice. Peer Gynt is a tale about one man's journey to the four corners of the world. media type="youtube" key="xrIYT-MrVaI?rel=0" height="315" width="420"
