He is best known for his Piano Concerto in A minor, for his incidental music to Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt (which includes Morning Mood and In the Hall of the Mountain King), and for his collection of piano miniatures Lyric Pieces. Edvard Hagerup Grieg was born in Bergen, Norway on 15 June 1843. His parents were Alexander Grieg (1806-1875), a merchant and British vice consul, and Gesine Judithe Hagerup (1814-1875), a music teacher and daughter of Edvard Hagerup. The original family name was spelled Greig, originally from Scotland. After the Battle of Culloden in 1746, his great-grandfather traveled widely, settling in Norway around 1770, and establishing business interests in Bergen. Grieg was raised in a musical home. His mother, who became his first piano teacher, taught him to play from the age of 6. He studied in several schools including Tank's School,[2] and often brought in examples of his music to class.
