Edvard Grieg :: 1843 - 1907 Edvard Grieg (1888) Edvard Hagerup Grieg (Norwegian: [ˈɛdʋɑrd ˈhɑːɡərʉp ˈɡrɪɡ]; 15 June 1843 – 4 September 1907) was a Norwegian composer and pianist. He is widely considered one of the leading Romantic era composers, and his music is part of the standard classical repertoire worldwide. Biography[edit] Edvard Grieg was raised in a musical milieu. In the summer of 1858, Grieg met the eminent Norwegian violinist Ole Bull,[6] who was a family friend; Bull's brother was married to Grieg's aunt.[7] Bull recognized the 15-year-old boy's talent and persuaded his parents to send him to the Leipzig Conservatory,[6] then directed by Ignaz Moscheles. In 1863, Grieg went to Copenhagen, Denmark, and stayed there for three years. 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. Later years[edit] The Norwegian government awarded him a pension. Music[edit] List of selected works[edit] Notes

Indoor climbing UK at Craggy Island Guildford Sutton Surrey Mathletics.eu - Achieve More Smetana - 1824, 1884 Portrait of Bedřich Smetana Bedřich Smetana (Czech pronunciation: [ˈbɛdr̝ɪx ˈsmɛtana] ( Smetana was naturally gifted as a pianist, and gave his first public performance at the age of six. After his conventional schooling, he studied music under Josef Proksch in Prague. His first nationalistic music was written during the 1848 Prague uprising, in which he briefly participated. After failing to establish his career in Prague, he left for Sweden, where he set up as a teacher and choirmaster in Gothenburg, and began to write large-scale orchestral works. By the end of 1874, Smetana had become completely deaf but, freed from his theatre duties and the related controversies, he began a period of sustained composition that continued for almost the rest of his life. Smetana's reputation as the founding father of Czech music has endured in his native country, where advocates have raised his status above that of his contemporaries and successors.

Camille Saint-Saëns - 1835, 1921 Camille Saint-Saëns Early years and education[edit] Saint-Saëns was born in Paris, France, on 9 October 1835. His father, a government clerk, died three months after his birth. In the late 1840s, Saint-Saëns entered the Conservatoire de Paris, where he studied organ and composition, the latter under Fromental Halévy. Middle years[edit] Saint-Saëns early in his career. From 1861 to 1865, Saint-Saëns held his only teaching position as professor of piano at the École Niedermeyer, where he raised eyebrows by including contemporary music — Liszt, Gounod, Schumann, Berlioz, and Wagner — along with the school's otherwise conservative curriculum of Bach and Mozart. Saint-Saëns was a multi-faceted intellectual. In 1870, the Franco-Prussian War, in spite of lasting less than 10 months, left an indelible mark on the composer. In 1875, nearing forty, Saint-Saëns married Marie Laure Emile Truffot, who was just 19. Later years[edit] Camille Saint-Saëns, 1915 Relationships with other composers[edit]

Vegan Village Gabriel Fauré 1845 - 1924 Fauré in 1907 Fauré was born into a cultured but not especially musical family. His talent became clear when he was a small boy. Biography[edit] Early years[edit] Fauré was born in Pamiers, Ariège, Midi-Pyrénées, in the south of France, the fifth son and youngest of six children of Toussaint-Honoré Fauré (1810–85) and Marie-Antoinette-Hélène Lalène-Laprade (1809–87).[3] According to the biographer Jean-Michel Nectoux, the Fauré family (pronounced "Faoure" in the occitan local dialect) dates to the 13th century in that part of France.[4] The family had at one time been substantial landowners, but by the 19th century its means were reduced. I grew up, a rather quiet well-behaved child, in an area of great beauty. ... Fauré as a student, 1864 Organist and composer[edit] Staff and students of the École Niedermeyer, 1871. Fauré in 1875 Middle years[edit] Contemporary accounts agree that Fauré was extremely attractive to women;[n 6] in Duchen's phrase, "his conquests were legion in the Paris salons
