Edvard Hagerup Grieg (15 June 1843 4 September 1907) was a Norwegian composer and pianist who composed in the Romantic period.

Edvard Grieg died in the autumn of 1907, aged 64, after a long period of illness. His final words were "Well, if it must be so". The funeral drew between 30,000 and 40,000 people out on the streets of his home town to honor him. Following his wish, his own funeral march for Rikard Nordraak was played in an orchestration by his friend Johan Halvorsen, who had married Grieg's niece. In addition, the famous funeral march by Frédéric Chopin was played. He and his wife's ashes are entombed in a mountain crypt near his house, Troldhaugen.

Grieg's popular Holberg Suite was originally written for the piano, and later arranged by the composer for string orchestra.
