Edvard Grieg set one of the most widely performed Norwegian plays to music: Hendrik Ibsen’s Peer Gynt,
carefree and imaginative braggart and liar Peer Gynt becomes a rich and shameless (slave) trader, who only questions his actions at the end of his life
the full score was thought to be lost, but it resurfaced in the 1980s
Grieg composed 26 movements for Peer Gynt and then – on purely musical grounds – selected eight to make two four-movement orchestral suites
the theatrical restrictions to which the work was subject frustrated Grieg immensely
