Greig at first refused to com- pose the suite, but after reading the play "Peer Gynt" he saw its potentialities. The play was first performed in 1876 and it was an- derstood by the Norweigans as an enterprise of national love and national institutions.

The play was later translated into English, German and French. "Peer Gynt," as a play, had five and this acts with 22 scenes, might be one of the reasons why it was not produced in England in full, except, may be, only in reper- tories.
