When Grieg often stayed in Leipzig for several weeks, sometimes up to half a year, during the concert season, or when he took advantage of the possibility of a short stay in Leipzig on his travels to or from Rome, Paris, Prague, Vienna or Karlsbad, he could count on the constant hospitality of the directors of the music publishing house C. F. Peters. In the domicile of the publishing house at Talstraße 10 he even had his own guest apartment on the top floor.
