Description

Elusive portrait of Norway’s most esteemed composer

Important Norwegian composer and pianist (1843–1907) whose works, often with a strong nationalistic flavor, include such repertory staples as the ‘Piano Concerto in A minor,’ the incidental music to Peer Gynt, and the ‘Holberg Suite.’ Highly sought after 4.25 x 6.5 cabinet photo of Grieg in a stylish suit, signed on the reverse in black ink. Published by Christensen & Morange of Copenhagen. Also bears a notation of the collector’s name on the reverse. Light rubbing and scuffing to image, otherwise fine condition. Originates from the collection of American violinist and pianist Louis Persinger (1887–1966), who trained at the Leipzig Conservatory and later taught at Juilliard, mentoring the likes of Yehudi Menuhin, Ruggiero Ricci, and Isaac Stern. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
