Piano Rhapsody

25.3: Grieg, Norway's Musical Hero (Notturno)

Piano Rhapsody

Show Notes

Not all of Grieg's works were inspired by the Norwegian countryside. Today we talk about the evening of Grieg's life and one of his works inspired by an Italian night.

We discuss May-December relationships, quid pro quo relationships, and nightingales.
