Olav Moe

Olav Moe (July 23, 1872 – August 11, 1967) was a Norwegian fiddler from the Valdres district.

This gave him the opportunity to make extensive and good contacts with fiddlers from other parts of Norway.

At one of these competitions in 1898, Moe met Edvard Grieg,[3] who encouraged him to travel around to learn as many old tunes as possible.

He even traveled to the United States in 1906 to give concerts there, and he made contacts with Norwegian fiddle players that had emigrated to the US.

[2] Moe participated in establishing the local newspaper Valdres and he served as its editor from 1903 to 1905.
