GA review

Hello, I am the reviewer of the article. I am here to check if the article fits the GA-class article standards. If you want to discuss anything, just reply here or do it in my talkspace. Regards, Daimanta 21:28, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I would like to see the words "Edward Grieg" and "popular culture" bolded(in the first sentence). Daimanta 09:36, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Other pieces and references need to be sourced. If this does not happen, I will let it fail. Daimanta 17:49, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I made a lot of fixes and found cites. I hope this saves this article. Bearian 20:43, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, can somebody add that Grieg was a classical music composer(in the first paragraph)? The article needs to stand on itself as much as reasonably possible. Daimanta 09:08, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Grieg's music remains an important part of music education and music therapy." This needs to be sourced. Also explain WHY Grieg's music is so important in music education and therapyDaimanta 09:10, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
It is stable.
It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
a (tagged and captioned): b lack of images (does not in itself exclude GA): c (non-free images have fair use rationales):
Overall:
a Pass/Fail:

"Grieg was known for taking many of his melodies from Norwegian folk music..." This is simply not true. As a matter of fact, the source reads "... Inspired by the folk music of his native Norway..." which is something completely different. There are just a few compositions where Grieg really "took" a Norwegian folk melody (like in op. 17, 29, 66 and 72). One will find not one Lyrical Piece actually based on a Norwegian folk melody. 195.0.208.178 (talk) 14:46, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Music therapy

I am seeking cites to back up the claim that his music is used in music therapy. I will add them ASAP, or remove the unsourced statement in 7 days. Bearian 15:31, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clean-up of section on Peer Gynt

The section on Peer Gynt is slowly degrading, and could use a cleanup. Help, anyone? Bearian (talk) 18:41, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A table, perhaps? That's the way it is in russian article. Something like this:

Artist	Album	Year	Comments
The Who	The Who Sell Out	1967 released 1995	Bonus track. ^[1]
SRC	Milestones	1969
Electric Light Orchestra	On the Third Day	1973
Rainbow	Stranger in Us All	1994	As a song, with lyrics by Candice Night
Apocalyptica	Cult	2000
Epica	The Classical Conspiracy	2009

Morning Wood in Anno games

The music "Morning Wood" appears also in most Anno games. I can verify that it at least appears in Anno 1602. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.10.151.214 (talk) 08:08, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indiscriminate example cleanup

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, nor is it a publisher of original research. A thousand disconnected examples of Grieg's songs in various media cannot add up to a single observation of their cultural impact. That requires published sources that actually make the observation themselves.

This article was tagged for nearly three years as an example farm. Most of the examples lacked any citation to someone other than a Wikipedia editor using them as evidence of Grieg's influence, so I removed those. A few did have a citation, and for some others I found a citation myself and added it. This is the standard to which all Wikipedia editing is supposed to be held, including popular culture. 50.185.134.48 (talk) 03:55, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Use of Solveig's Song in Shaolin Soccer

I noticed the theme of Solveig's Song was adapted in the soundtrack of Shaolin Soccer. The track that adapted it is named "Under the Tree". I hope someone may find sources, so this can be mentioned in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:638:904:FFC2:E869:E663:520E:BA34 (talk) 00:02, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to mention the record "Asia Minor", by Kokomo(an alias), as a rock/jazz version of the A-Minor concerto. Someone more adept than I could add this to the music section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.28.26.20 (talk) 15:41, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I cut this out

pending some sort of reference. The band did not chart and the link leads nowhere.

"This recording inspired the Rapiers 1987 version, with a string section, and Jet Harris style twangy lead guitar."

In the woods...

The band "In the woods..." had a song called "Mourning the death of Aase" (track 4 on "HEart of the ages"). The booklet notes this song is "A dedication to the memory of Edvard Grieg; the classical composer of all times." I don't know enough of Grieg's music to know whether this is a version of his work or a medley or something else all together. This song is also featured on "Three times seven on a pilgrimage" and "Live at the Caledonien Hall" by the same band. 2A02:A210:A001:A380:8D42:54BE:7076:E786 (talk) 11:34, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Inspector Gadget

In the hall of the mountain king was also used to create the theme of Inspector Gadget animated series. Aminabzz (talk) 23:06, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a mention of that at the article. Dhtwiki (talk) 13:17, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In the hall of the mountain king - Beavis and Butthead

Surprised that the then-series finale of Beavis and Butthead in 1997 when McVicker is having a heart attack & remembering the duos antics to this song isn’t referenced
