Consider a real valued Morse function f on a C 2 closed connected n ‐dimensional manifold M . It is proved that a suitable Riemannian metric exists on M , such that f is harmonic outside the set of critical points of f of index 0 and n . The proof is based on a result of Calabi [1], providing a criterion for a closed one‐form on a closed connected manifold to be harmonic with respect to some Riemannian metric.
