Edvard Grieg, the great Norwegian composer, was born in Bergen in 1843 and died there in 1907. Grieg received his first Piano instruction from his mother, an amateur Pianist with whom he reportedly loved to play Piano duets. In an era when young people were always chaperoned, Grieg's mother would leave him and his girlfriend alone only for as long as they were playing duets. When the music stopped, Mother looked into the room with a stern eye!
