To me Grieg is sort of a standard I use to judge Nordic. I would call it a lighter airier German music, less angst, less heavy rhythmically with high clean woodwinds.Yet still recognizably German in basic style. Finland is a bit ambiguous since it was part of Russia for an extended period, hence Sibelius' early fascination with Tchaikovsky. The English speaking countries have historically been far stronger in popular music than classical and that still holds today. I wonder if classical music concerts will really survive in the Americas except in a few big cities in coming decades.
