Grieg (1843.6.15~197.9.4), a Norwegian composer, pianist and founder of Norwegian folk music school, was born in Bergen. My father was originally from Scotland and my mother was Norwegian. I learned piano from my mother when I was young. At the age of 15, he was recommended by the famous violinist Boer to study in Germany and study composition and piano at Leipzig Conservatory of Music. After graduating from the hospital in 1862, he returned to China. At the age of 21, I met Nordrake (1842~1866, author of Norwegian national anthem), and under his inspiration, I devoted myself to the study of folk music and used it in his creation. At the same time, I toured all over Europe. In 1868, he created the piano concerto in A minor, which is full of youthful vitality. In 1869, I met Liszt in Rome. He also co-founded the Norwegian Music Association in Oslo (the capital). In 1874 (at the age of 31), he was awarded a life annuity by the Norwegian government and moved to Bergen. In the rural life, he enjoyed the freshness of nature and the simple life of villagers and devoted himself to composing music. Before going to England in 197, he was hospitalized and died. His works include the drama score "Pearl Gint" (1874~1875), ten volumes of Piano Lyrics (***66 pieces), orchestral music "Norwegian Dance Music" (***4 pieces, 1881) and "Holburg Suite" (1884~1885) in memory of the poet Hall.
Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, sibelius, Debussy and others were all influenced by it. Grieg formed artistic music with unique style on the fertile soil of folk songs. In harmony, he not only has a strong romantic style, but also has an impressionist harmonic vocabulary, which is one of his most creative contributions. His title piano sketch is unique, widely adopting the rhythm of folk dance music and taking folk songs as its melody material. Glinka, the "Five-member Group" and Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky in Russia
Russia began to introduce western European music from Peter the Great. By the middle of the 18th century, not only opera houses were established in Petersburg and Moscow, but also there were Italian musicians, foreign music performances and foreign composers in Russia. At the end of 18th century, Russian musicians began to study in Italy. On this basis, after entering the 19th century, Russian aristocrats began to own private bands, participated in music performance and creation activities, held salon concerts and public concerts frequently, and published a large number of music magazines and handbooks for music lovers. Great changes have taken place in social music life, which made Russian music culture achieve unprecedented prosperity. At the same time, the emergence of professional musicians has made great contributions to the development of Russian national music. Glinka's musical achievements, in particular, laid a solid foundation for the development of Russian national music. Under his influence, Russian national music school was formed. The representative composers of this school are Dargomesky, Balakirev, Guy, Bao Luoting, Musorgskiy, Rimsky-Korsakov and Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky. In this school of music, like Russian literature at that time, there are two tendencies, namely Slavic vibration and Western European school, and Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky belongs to the latter. Although there are some differences between them, they all reach the same goal by different routes, both of which profoundly show the nationality of Russia and are full of strong spirit of the times.
