Grieg documentary: Play, 24 min
Grieg was the only major Scandinavian composer of the 19th century. He drew on
Norwegian folk music to give his music a distinct, nationalistic Flavor. While he is best
known for his orchestra and piano works (he was a performing pianist), Grieg also wrote
chamber music, art songs and choral music.
