PRESSER CO., Pub's., Phila., Pa. + + + + + HOW TO USE THIS BOOK + + +This book is one of a series known as the CHILD'S OWN BOOK OF GREAT +MUSICIANS, written by Thomas Tapper, author of "Pictures from the Lives +of the Great Composers for Children," "Music Talks with Children," +"First Studies in Music Biography," and others. + +The sheet of illustrations included herewith is to be cut apart by the +child, and each illustration is to be inserted in its proper place +throughout the book, pasted in the space containing the same number as +will be found under each picture on the sheet. It is not necessary to +cover the entire back of a picture with paste. Put it only on the +corners and place neatly within the lines you will find printed around +each space. Use photographic paste, if possible. + +After this play-work is completed there will be found at the back of the +book blank pages upon which the child is to write his own story of the +great musician, based upon the facts and questions found on the previous +pages. + +The book is then to be sewed by the child through the center with the +cord found in the enclosed envelope. The book thus becomes the child's +own book. + +This series will be found not only to furnish a pleasing and interesting +task for the children, but will teach them the main facts with regard to +the life of each of the great musicians--an educational feature worth +while. + + * * * * * + +This series of the Child's Own Book of Great Musicians includes at +present a book on each of the following: + + Bach Grieg Mozart + Beethoven Handel Nevin + Brahms Haydn Schubert + Chopin Liszt Schumann + Dvorak MacDowell Tschaikowsky + Foster Mendelssohn Verdi + Wagner + + + + + [Illustration: No. 1] + + [Illustration: No. 7] + + [Illustration: No. 18] + + [Illustration: No. 22] + + [Illustration: No. 11] + + [Illustration: No. 5] + + [Illustration: No. 17] + + [Illustration: No. 21] + + [Illustration: No. 3] + + [Illustration: No. 13] + + [Illustration: No. 14] + + [Illustration: No. 15] + + [Illustration: No. 6] + + [Illustration: No. 19] + + [Illustration: No. 20] + + [Illustration: No. 12] + + [Illustration: No. 8] + + [Illustration: No. 9] + + [Illustration: No. 4] + + [Illustration: No. 16] + + [Illustration: No. 2] + + [Illustration: No. 10] + + + + + EDVARD GRIEG + + The Story of the Boy Who + Made Music in the Land + of the Midnight Sun + + + This Book was made by + + + .................................. + + + Philadelphia + Theodore Presser Co. + 1712 Chestnut Str. + + + COPYRIGHT 1921, BY THEO.

He +loved his mother country and the music which the people sang. + +But he had music, all his own, that sang and sang in his heart. It was +happy music and sad; solemn and joyous. You will hear it some day and +love it all. + +Even when this little boy was in the primary school the music knocked at +his heart's door as if it would say: + +"Let me out into the world so that people may hear me." + + [Illustration: No. 2 GRIEG AS A BOY] + +When he was twelve years old he started out one morning as usual, but +instead of taking his school books he took with him his music writing +book which contained what he termed "Variation on a German Melody Op. +1." + + [Illustration: No. 3 FROM THE NORWEGIAN BRIDAL PROCESSION] + +Can you not imagine how proud he must have been of his Op. 1? + + [Illustration: No. 4 GRIEG'S SIGNATURE] + +His schoolmates were very proud to see the music of their companion +Edvard. But alas! While they were looking at it and talking about it, +whom do you think came creeping up behind them? + +Why, the schoolmaster, to be sure. + +He gave little Edvard a rough shaking up and told him how severely he +would be punished if ever again he brought such nonsense to school. + +Poor old schoolmaster! He did not know what Edvard Grieg would one day +mean to the land and people of Norway. For Edvard loved not only the +music that kept singing in him, but he loved Norway and all its people. +Do you think any one could help loving such mountains as these? + + [Illustration: No. 5 NORWEGIAN MOUNTAIN SCENE] + +But all the grown up folks of Edvard's world did not call his music +rubbish. His mother loved music and played beautifully. It was from her +that Edvard had his first lessons, just as Mendelssohn was first taught +by his mother. + +Then one day something wonderful happened. A great violinist, Ole Bull +by name, visited the Grieg family in the country. He was so kind to the +little composer that the boy just loved him. + + [Illustration: No. 6 OLE BULL] + +Ole Bull had traveled the world over playing the violin. He looked over +Edvard's compositions and made the boy play them to him. You can see him +nodding his head in pleasure as he listens. His fine eyes are lighted +up. He tells the boy composer that his music is quite good, but that +there is a lot for him to learn yet. So he must study earnestly and make +many sacrifices. + +Then Ole Bull sits down and talks with Father and Mother Grieg. It is a +serious talk, as one can see. Finally, when the talk is finished, Ole +Bull takes the wondering boy by the hand and says to him: + +"You are going to Leipzig to study and become a fine musician." + +So Edvard Grieg left his home city, Bergen, its mountains, its fjords, +its people, his father and mother, and traveled south through Norway, +across the water and into Germany. No doubt he was a lonesome boy. Life +had become serious all at once and there was much to be done. + + [Illustration: No. 7 BERGEN FJORD] + +It was all strange and new. Instead of hills and the waters of the +fjords, there were tall, dark houses, gloomy streets, and such a lot of +hurrying people. + + + [Illustration: No. 8 SCENE IN LEIPZIG] + +But he soon grew used to it all and was busy as could be with lessons in +piano and harmony. Just as in the earlier days in school, so in Leipzig, +Edvard wrote music as it sounded in his heart. In the harmony lessons he +could not make himself write plain chords to the bass which was given +him as an exercise. He wrote the light, airy, lovely, fanciful tunes and +rhythms that were singing within him. And just like the schoolmaster at +home, the harmony teacher shouted at him, saying: + +"No, that is all wrong!" + +His harmony teacher was E. F. Richter. + + [Illustration: No. 9 E. F. RICHTER] + +But you remember that Ole Bull understood the boy's music. While here in +Leipzig there were many who understood it too. + +Bit by bit Edvard made friends who loved to listen to his pieces. One of +them was Niels Gade, a fine musician in Denmark, who was a friend of +Schumann's, who one time, wrote a Northern Song on the letters on Gade's +name. It begins like this: + + [Illustration: No. 10 GADE'S MUSICAL NAME] + +And Edvard too once wrote a fugue on the letters G-A-D-E. + +So inspiring was his music study that Edvard worked very hard. He +composed a great deal of music which slowly made friends for him. Robert +Schumann was one who spoke kindly of the young Norwegian and his music. +And so he grew and improved. Because he was true to his talent, he made +many friends not only in Leipzig but throughout Europe, as we shall see. + + [Illustration: No. 11 R. SCHUMANN] + +You will learn some day the names of many of the people who became +friends of Grieg. There were Rikard Nordraak, and later on Franz Liszt. +Grieg became one of the group of great Norwegian artists in which +Henrik Ibsen and Bjornstjerne Bjornson were prominent. Indeed, Grieg +wrote the music to Ibsen's _Peer Gynt_. One of the great pleasures of +Grieg's life was Bjornson's _Patriotic Poem_ to his own music. + + [Illustration: No. 12 NORDRAAK] + + [Illustration: No. 13 LISZT] + + [Illustration: No. 14 IBSEN] + + [Illustration: No. 15 BJORNSON] + +One day Grieg showed Gade a composition called _In Autumn_ which Gade +did not like. "It is too Norwegian," he said. This pleased Grieg, +although Gade told him to go home and write something better. He was +nearly as rough as Grieg's schoolmaster. + +But one day later a prize was offered in Sweden for an orchestral +composition. Grieg's _In Autumn_ won the prize. And Gade was one of the +judges. We wonder if he forgot about it! + + [Illustration: No. 16 GADE] + +Grieg married his cousin Mina Hagerup, to whom he dedicated his famous +song: _I Love Thee_. But the mother of his bride did not think highly of +him. + +"He is a nobody," she said, "who writes music that no one cares to +listen to." + + [Illustration: No. 17 GRIEG AND HIS WIFE] + +But people were beginning to listen. After a concert in Christiania, +entirely of Norwegian music, the Government gave Grieg a small pension +and he went to Rome. + +Here he had a fine meeting with Liszt who asked Grieg to play. Then +Liszt took Grieg's manuscript and played it at sight, to his great +delight. + +When Grieg bade good-bye to Liszt the famous pianist said to him: + +"Keep on, you have talent and ability. Do not let any one discourage or +frighten you." + +So sensitive was Grieg about music writing that he never allowed any one +to watch him. So he had a little house built in the mountains where he +could work at his leisure. This he called his "tune house." There was +only one room and it was for all the world like a little play house +that children have. In it was his piano and often when he was playing, +the Norwegian peasants used to group themselves outside the door, +sometimes joining in the singing, and then again dancing to their +delightful folktunes and dances. + + [Illustration: No. 18 TUNE HOUSE] + +Here are some pictures of Grieg as he looked in later years. + + [Illustration: No. 19 GRIEG IN LATER YEARS] + + [Illustration: No. 20 GRIEG IN LATER YEARS] + +As a boy in Leipzig he worked too hard and sickness made it necessary +for him to return home. From this sickness he never fully recovered. All +his life he was frail and unable to endure severe tasks. + +In appearance Grieg was short and rather bent in figure. His hands were +thin, but fine and strong for the piano, although one of them had been +crushed in an accident. His eyes were deep blue. They looked straight at +you and were full of life and kindness. + +Grieg was merry of nature; a lovely companion, full of fun and company. +Sometimes, however, he was sad and melancholy like his own music. + + [Illustration: No. 21 GRIEG PERCY GRAINGER MRS. GRIEG RONTGEN] + +Some day you will learn the names of many of his compositions. And among +them you will love such pieces as _The Birds_, _In Spring Time_, +_Arietta_, the _Peer Gynt Music_, the _Piano Sonata_, the _Piano and +Violin Sonata_, and lots of lively Norwegian dances and tunes. Indeed, +he has composed many compositions which you will number among your +favorite pieces. + +Three great names stand out more than all others in the musical history +of Scandinavia. You have learned two, Edvard Grieg and Ole Bull. The +other is Jenny Lind, known as "the Swedish nightingale," who was loved +not only for her wonderful voice but for her kindness and noble nature. +She was born at Stockholm in 1820 and died in England in 1887. In Sweden +to this day Jennie Lind is a great national personage. The people look +upon her as we would on Washington, Irving, Lincoln or Longfellow. She +was very beautiful. + +Here is her picture. + + [Illustration: No. 22 JENNIE LIND] + + * * * * * + + SOME FACTS ABOUT EDVARD GRIEG + +When you have read this page and the next make a story about Grieg's +life.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
