Edvard Grieg Statue

Known as the 'Chopin of the North,' he created melodies you have almost certainly heard in movies, cartoons, and even commercials! As he once beautifully put it: 'From the singing of birds, one could compose an infinite number of symphonies, if only one knew how to listen.' Yet, showing his true Norwegian wit, he also joked: 'I am sure my music has a taste of codfish in it.' This was Maestro Edvard Grieg—the most famous Bergenite of all time!
