The Story of the Boy Who Made Music
in the Land of the Midnight Sun
This is the picture of a boy who was born in the north of the world. 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."
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."
