[Norway] Episode 10: Edvard Grieg, the Life and Legacy of a Mountain King

Send us a text

This week, I ask you to join me in learning the life and legacy of one of music history's most beloved, but just as misunderstood composers, Edvard Grieg. This special episode is essentially my thesis condensed into a 30 minute podcast episode, and will cover Grieg's upbringing, education, personal life, his place as Scandinavia's most significant musicians, and the mark he left on Parisian culture during the Belle Epoque as one of its most popular composers. In the process, we will better understand how Grieg left a remarkable and personal influence on the generations after him, from Maurice Ravel, to Bela Bartok, to Duke Ellington, to John Cage, and many in between. It is my hope that you come away from this episode with a newfound appreciation of Edvard Grieg's music, life, and legacy.
