Edvard Hagerup Grieg was a Norwegian composer and pianist born on June 15, 1843, in Bergen, Norway. He is widely considered one of the leading Romantic era composers, and his music is part of the standard classical repertoire worldwide. Grieg’s use of Norwegian folk music in his compositions brought the music of Norway to fame and helped develop a national identity, much like Jean Sibelius did in Finland and Bedřich Smetana in Bohemia.

Grieg was raised in a musical family; his mother was his first piano teacher and taught him to play when he was aged six. He studied in several schools, including Tanks Upper Secondary School.

At the request of his publisher, the composer filled an entire 10 volumes with “Lyric Pieces” a total of 66 individual works. The Romantic character piece for piano is crucial to a group of works in Edvard Grieg’s complete oeuvre, and transcribe well for the organ.

The titles and characters of many pieces reflect the influence of the musical and literary folklore of Grieg’s Norwegian homeland. The experienced church musician Klaus Uwe Ludwig made a selection of the most appropriate pieces from the collection and adapted these for organ.
