Named for the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg (1843–1907). In Grieg’s work, the precipitous, harsh beauty of the Scandinavian landscape is reflected. Particularly popular is the orchestral suite Peer Gynt, a piano and violin concerto to accompany Ibsen’s {see planet  (5696)} play. Also well known are many short charming lyric compositions, for example the wedding march of Troldhaugen. (M 18648) _ _.
