What's Edward Gregg's work?

Edvard Grieg was born in Bergen on June 1843. My father is a wealthy businessman and a British consul in Bergen. Mother is a talented poet and musician, and often plays her favorite music works by Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin and other masters to Greg. When Greg was 6 years old, his mother began to teach him to play the piano. But it soon became clear that if he wanted to play other people's works, he would rather try to compose his own music. His imagination is extremely rich, and when he is used in music creation, he can often write beautiful and innovative melodies. However, his works are loosely structured and unwilling to practice hard. At that time, there was no formal music school in Norway, and it was fashionable to study in a famous music center in Europe. So Gregg entered the Leipzig Conservatory of Music in Germany on June 1859 and received three years of intensive training. Greg hates that place because his tutor only makes him do boring exercises to curb his creativity. Greg was considered a problem student, and then he got some guidance from other teachers, and the situation began to change. These teachers are famous musicians themselves, such as Unzer and others, who inspired Greg's potential musical talent. From then on, Greg studied hard and stayed up all night, which had a very bad influence on his health. He suffered from severe pleurisy and hurt his lungs, so he suffered from breathing problems all his life.

Pilkin.

The protagonist of Ibsen's original work is a peasant boy named Pilkin. He heard that his old lover ingrid was getting married, so he attended the wedding as an unexpected guest. After being laughed at by the guests for his boring and absurd remarks, he kidnapped the bride and took her to the mountainous wasteland. The next day, regardless of Ingrid's pain, he begged, abandoned her and left alone.

After many adventures, Pilkin broke into the hall of King Shan and was haunted by goblins and ghosts, threatening to kill him. Pilkin managed to escape from his clutches and built a hut in the forest before he could live temporarily. He met Sue who had a crush on him at the wedding, and they moved in together. But Pilkin soon abandoned her and returned to her dying mother. After his mother died, Pilkin ventured into the Arabian desert. He stole a good horse and beautiful clothes from a thief and went to an oasis. He was mistaken for a prophet. The dancer tried her best to please him. One of them, Anitra, found his treasure, seduced him sexually, ran away with him after winning, and then fled without a trace with all his treasures. After a shipwreck off the Norwegian coast, Pilkin finally went home. He found that Sue was still waiting for him faithfully, but death was also waiting for him, because his life was worthless. Finally, Pilkin died in Sue's arms.

Suite 1

In the morning scene, Pilkin watched the rising sun rising slowly from the Sahara desert. However, the vibrato of the flute plays a melody similar to birdsong to describe the African scene, but it is a typical Norwegian scene. The oboe plays this melody in turn, alternating with the flute, and then dominated by the orchestral music dominated by strings. Greg used English-English music to imitate the sound of the sun shining on the water. Then the music becomes soft, depicting the scenery where the sun shines on the earth.
