Composer
Edvard Grieg
Wrote the Peer Gynt music and a piano concerto that is played more than almost any other. Between thirty and forty thousand people attended his funeral in Bergen.
Edvard Hagerup Grieg was 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 of Norwegian folk music in his own compositions brought the music of Norway to fame, as well as helping to develop a national identity, much as Jean Sibelius did in Finland and Bedřich Smetana in Bohemia.
