Edvard Grieg

Piano Concerto in A minor (Klaverkonsert in A minor), Op. 16 – is the only concerto Grieg has completed. This is one of his most famous works and one of the greatest concertos in the piano repertoire. [6]
The concerto is one of Grieg's early works, written in 1868 (he was then 25 years old) in Sölleröd in Denmark, during one of those visits when Grieg enjoys the country's warmer climate, more southerly than his native Norway. It is written for solo piano, two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, violins, violas, cellos and basses. [6]
It is dedicated to fiery love and includes a double image of Nina H. Grieg and their newborn daughter Alexandra. At that time, Grieg spent his days traveling through the Norwegian countryside. It was in this relaxed atmosphere that the Piano Concerto was born which from its very first performance was a great success and received warm applause from the critics Anton Rubinstein, Niels Gade and Emil Hartmann. [6]
Grieg's concerto is often compared to that of Robert Schumann: it is the same key (A minor) and both introductions begin with the brightness of the piano's chordal descent. More generally, Grieg's style is considered closer to Schumann's than to that of any other composer. We know that he especially heard Schumann's Piano Concerto performed by the composer's widow Clara in Leipzig in 1858. Also, in addition to his mother, Grieg studied piano with a friend of a German composer named Ernst Ferdinand Wenzel. [6]
Edmund Neupert premiered the concerto on May 3 1869 at the Casino Theater in Copenhagen. Grieg himself could not be there due to the fulfillment of obligations in Christiania (as Oslo was then called). In 1868, Franz Liszt, who had not yet met Grieg, wrote a testimonial for him to the Norwegian Ministry of Education, which led to Grieg receiving a travel grant. The two men met in Rome in 1870. During Grieg's first visit, they got acquainted with Grieg's Violin Sonata No. 1, which Liszt liked very much. [10]
During his second visit, in April, Grieg brought with him the manuscript of his piano concerto, which Liszt began to sight-read (including the orchestral arrangement). Liszt's performance made a strong impression on the listeners, although Grieg gently pointed out to him that he was playing the first movement too quickly. Liszt also gave Grieg some orchestration advice (such as giving the melody of the second theme in the first movement to the solo trumpet). [10]
The concerto was first published in Leipzig in 1872. Shortly before his death, Grieg revised the work again, eliminating Franz Liszt's proposal (in Rome 1870) to give the second theme of the first movement to the trumpets rather than the cellos. [6]
The concerto consists of three movements:
