Abstract

"I wish to ask and convey what it means to be Norwegian, what we were and what we are, and to begin to answer that I must first briefly turn to our history in a European context, largely unkown outside (and even in) Norway. This brief book is for anyone who looks to Norway and wishes to discover why she survived and became a distinct, and this century, a rich nation."--Author introduction, xvii.

Abstract

An examination of the role of landscape and cultural identity in the music of Edvard Grieg. Grieg's music is examined in its relation to landscape and national identity. Grimley demonstrates how competing musical discourses contribute to a body of work more challenging and complex than their popular appeal might suggest. 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.
