Happy Birthday, Edvard Grieg!

Today I would like to direct the world's attention to the birthday of Edvard Grieg, whose music changed my life. He is 165 today, albeit 100 years dead (101 years dead on 3 September). That is all. Grieg does not have such a plenitude of bizarre quotations, neither from nor about him, as Satie does, and I do not wish to make the greater composer (Grieg) appear inadequate.
