Which of these is not a direct influence on Grieg's music?

  • Jazz

  • Baroque music

  • Romanticism

  • Norwegian folk music

Answer

Norwegian folk music is not a direct influence on Grieg's music. Grieg's music is primarily influenced by the Romantic era composers, particularly Schumann and Liszt. He also drew inspiration from Norwegian folk music, but it was not a direct influence. Instead, he used elements of Norwegian folk music, such as melodies and rhythms, to create his own unique style.
