An examination of the role of landscape and cultural identity in
the music of Edvard Grieg. While Grieg's music continues to enjoy a
prominent place in the concert hall and recording catalogues, it
has yet to attract sustained analytical attention in Anglo-American
scholarship. Daniel Grimley examines the role which music and
landscape played in the formation of Norwegian cultural identity in
the nineteenth century, and the function that landscape has
performed in Grieg's work. It presents new perspectives on the
relationships between music, landscape and identity. This tension
between competing musical discourses - the folklorist, the
nationalist and the modernist - offers one of the most vivid
narratives in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century music,
and suggests that Grieg is a more complex and challenging
historical figure than his critical reception has often appeared to
suggest. It is through the contested category of landscape, this
book argues, that these tensions can be contextualised and
ultimately resolved.
