"Last words" source?

I am very sceptical about his last words being "Well, if it must be so". The only thing I've found is a newspaper article, which states that his last words were "I can probably take it". (http://blogg.bt.no/bergensiana/2010/11/18/%E2%80%9Djeg-sa-edvard-grieg-d%C3%B8%E2%80%9D/) To be fair though, that's a really bad quote, and I understand why people would have chosen the romanticized version. If I don't get any comments within a week, I'll change it. Thanks! - NotOfImportanceToYou (talk) 20:29, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Later years (2 paras)
Music (2 paras)

Please do not remove the maintenance tag until these have been resolved. Thanks. —howcheng {chat} 08:15, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Grieg Jewish?

I understand that Grieg and his wife were believing Unitarians, and I'm aware that he, at considerable cost to his French career, was publically pro-Dreyfus but I never heard that he was himself Jewish! If this cannot be confirmed, this phrase should be removed from the article. So far, it looks like another Wikipedia howler! Ed (talk) 20:39, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I have removed it. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:05, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article still needs some love

Despite this man having written some of the most familiar (and greatest) music ever created, the article has not improved much since the cries of anguish about it in 2009, above. I'll see what can be done. Straw Cat (talk) 17:25, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
