Edvard Hagerup Grieg was a Norwegian composer and pianist. He is considered one of the leading Romantic era composers, his music is part of the standard classical repertoire worldwide, his use and development of Norwegian folk music in his own compositions brought the music of Norway to international consciousness, as well as helping to develop a national identity, much as Jean Sibelius did in Finland and Bedřich Smetana did in Bohemia, respectively. Grieg is the most celebrated person from the city of Bergen, with numerous statues depicting his image, many cultural entities named after him: the city's largest concert building, its most advanced music school and its professional choir; the Edvard Grieg Museum at Grieg's former home, Troldhaugen, is dedicated to his legacy. Edvard Hagerup Grieg was born in Norway, his parents were a merchant and vice-consul in Bergen. The family name spelled Greig, is associated with the Scottish Clann Ghriogair. After the Battle of Culloden in 1746, Grieg's great-grandfather, Alexander Greig, travelled settling in Norway about 1770, establishing business interests in Bergen.

Edvard Grieg was raised in a musical family. His mother taught him to play at the age of six. Grieg studied including Tanks Upper Secondary School. In the summer of 1858, Grieg met the eminent Norwegian violinist Ole Bull, a family friend. Bull recognized the 15-year-old boy's talent and persuaded his parents to send him to the Leipzig Conservatory, the piano department of, directed by Ignaz Moscheles. Grieg enrolled in the conservatory, concentrating on the piano, enjoyed the many concerts and recitals given in Leipzig, he disliked the discipline of the conservatory course of study. An exception was the organ, mandatory for piano students. About his study in the conservatory, he wrote to his biographer, Aimar Grønvold, in 1881: "I must admit, unlike Svendsen, that I left Leipzig Conservatory just as stupid as I entered it. I did learn something there, but my individuality was still a closed book to me. In the spring of 1860, he survived two life-threatening lung diseases and tuberculosis. Throughout his life, Grieg's health was impaired by a destroyed left lung and considerable deformity of his thoracic spine.

He suffered from numerous respiratory infections, developed combined lung and heart failure. Grieg was admitted many times to spas and sanatoria both in Norway and abroad. Several of his doctors became his personal friends. In 1861, Grieg made his debut as a concert pianist in Sweden. In 1862, he finished his studies in Leipzig and held his first concert in his home town, where his programme included Beethoven's Pathétique sonata. In 1863, Grieg went to Copenhagen and stayed there for three years, he met Niels Gade. He met his fellow Norwegian composer Rikard Nordraak, who became a good friend and source of inspiration. Nordraak died in 1866, Grieg composed a funeral march in his honor. On 11 June 1867, Grieg married Nina Hagerup, a lyric soprano; the next year, their only child, was born. Alexandra died in 1869 from meningitis. In the summer of 1868, Grieg wrote his Piano Concerto in A minor while on holiday in Denmark. Edmund Neupert gave the concerto its premiere performance on 3 April 1869 in the Casino Theatre in Copenhagen.

Grieg himself was unable to be there due to conducting commitments in Christiania. In 1868, Franz Liszt, who had not yet met Grieg, wrote a testimonial for him to the Norwegian Ministry of Education, which led to Grieg's obtaining a travel grant; the two men met in Rome in 1870. On Grieg's first visit, they went over Grieg's Violin Sonata No. 1, which pleased Liszt greatly. On his second visit in April, Grieg brought with him the manuscript of his Piano Concerto, which Liszt proceeded to sightread. Liszt's rendition impressed his audience, although Grieg pointed out to him that he played the first movement too quickly. Liszt gave Grieg some advice on orchestration. In 1874–76, Grieg composed incidental music for the premiere of Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt, at the request of the author. Grieg had close ties with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, became Music Director of the orchestra from 1880 to 1882. In 1888, Grieg met Tchaikovsky in Leipzig. Grieg was struck by the greatness of Tchaikovsky. Tchaikovsky thought highly of Grieg's music, praising its beauty and warmth.

On 6 December 1897, Grieg and his wife performed some of his music at a private concert at Windsor Castle for Queen Victoria and her court. Grieg was awarded two honorary doctorates, first by the University of Cambridge in 1894 and the next from the University of Oxford in 1906; the Norwegian government provided Grieg with a pension. In the spring of 1903, Grieg made nine 78-rpm gramophone recordings of his piano music in Paris. Grieg made live-recording player piano music rolls for the Hupfeld Phonola piano-player system and Welte-Mignon reproducing system, all of which survive today and can be heard, he worked with the

The Diocese of Nola is a Roman Catholic diocese in Italy, suffragan of the Archdiocese of Naples. Its seat is the Campanian city of Nola, now a suburb of Naples, its cathedral is dedicated to the Assumption. The dedication was to S.
