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?
