Edvard Grieg, I have to remember that name.
I was familiar with the melody of Morning mood; as you suggested, who isn't?
Fascinating story of his work and how it influeced contemporary artists and other artistic forms.
The Peer Gynt story is a great example of collaborative arts making one form even better (or at least more acceptable).
I think opening melody of "The death of Ase" must be behind the famous venezuelan singer, Jose Luis Rodriguez's hit, Atrévete (Dare)

Fatastic post.
