Grieg, Delius, Grainger and a Norwegian Cuckoo

Abstract

The feeling of nature I think is what I like so much in Grieg's best things. You have it too & I think we all 3 have something in common. Delius to Grainger, 10 June 1907. Spring always means for me a longing for Norway. Delius to Grainger, January 1914. A ‘Norwegian Cuckoo’? Well perhaps not Norwegian literally, but certainly figuratively. Perhaps, as we shall see, nothing more than an accidental cadence. Delius thought so, even if Grieg didn't; and it was probably Grainger who inadvertently acted as the go-between.
