The depth to Edvard Grieg is explored in the H.T. Finck biography in a way that sets the composers bones ablaze with fire while burning with life and vivacity, and at a place in a snowy palace on the ice that is consumed with warmth and is in fact, a cozy, small house with pictures, books, manuscripts, furniture, and a fortepiano.

Nuoširdžiai nustebino, kad biografija poetiškumu nelabai tesiskyrė nuo šįmet jau skaityto romano :D Bet atsižvelgiant į darbų.apie Grygą limituotą skaičių, tikrai nebloga.
