I gained a sense of why Grieg was so touched by the wistful, elegiac folk music of Norway, and what he meant when he said self-effacingly that his music had a 'taste of cod' about it.
Anthony Tommasini (The Indispensable Composers: A Personal Guide)
La chanson de Solveig L'hiver peut s'enfuir, le printemps bien aimé Peut s'écouler. Les feuilles d'automne et les fruits de l'été, Tout peut passer. Mais tu me reviendras, Ô mon doux fiancé, Pour ne plus me quitter. Je t'ai donné mon coeur, il attend résigné, Il ne saurait changer. Que Dieu daigne encore dans sa grande bonté, Te protéger, Au pays lointain qui te tient exilé, Loin du foyer. Moi je t'attends ici, cher et doux fiancé, Jusqu'à mon jour dernier. Je t'ai gardé mon cœur, plein de fidélité, Il ne saurait changer.

I studied the photographs intently, and realised that whoever Anna Landvik was, she’d been very young when the photograph had been taken. Underneath the heavy stage make-up, the girl looked barely older than a child.

In Bach, Beethoven, and Wagner we admire principally the depth and energy of the human mind; in Mozart, the divine instinct.
