Edvard Hagerup Grieg (15 June 1843 – 4 September 1907) was a Norwegian composer and pianist. He is widely considered one of the leading Romantic era composers, and his music is part of the standard classical repertoire worldwide. His use and development of Norwegian folk music in his own compositions brought the music of Norway to international consciousness, as well as helping to develop a national identity, much as Jean Sibelius and Bedřich Smetana did in Finland and Bohemia, respectively.

Allegro moderato molto e marcato (19:00) Leif Ove Andsnes, piano and Bergen Philharmonic conducted by Ole Christian Ruud Watch live performance here: (http•••) The work is among Grieg's earliest important works, written by the 24-year-old composer in 1868 in Søllerød, Denmark, during one of his visits there to benefit from the climate. The concerto is often compared to the Piano Concerto of Robert Schumann: it is in the same key; the opening descending flourish on the piano is similar; the overall style is considered to be closer to Schumann than any other single composer. Incidentally, both composers wrote only one concerto for piano. Grieg had heard Schumann's concerto played by Clara Schumann in Leipzig in 1858, and was greatly influenced by Schumann's style generally, having been taught the piano by Schumann's friend Ernst Ferdinand Wenzel. Grieg's concerto provides evidence of his interest in Norwegian folk music; the opening flourish is based on the motif of a falling minor second followed by a falling major third, which is typical of the folk music of Grieg's native country. This specific motif occurs in other works by Grieg, including the String Quartet No. 1. In the last movement of the concerto, similarities to the halling (a Norwegian folk dance) and imitations of the Hardanger fiddle (the Norwegian folk fiddle) have been detected. The work was premiered by Edmund Neupert on April 3, 1869, in Copenhagen, with Holger Simon Paulli conducting. Some sources say that Grieg himself, an excellent pianist, was the intended soloist, but he was unable to attend the premiere owing to commitments with an orchestra in Christiania (now Oslo). Among those who did attend the premiere were the Danish composer Niels Gade and the Russian pianist Anton Rubinstein, who provided his piano for the occasion. Neupert was also the dedicatee of the second edition of the concerto (Rikard Nordraak was the original dedicatee), and James Huneker said that he composed the first movement cadenza. The Norwegian premiere in Christiania followed on August 7, 1869, and the piece was later heard in Germany in 1872 and England in 1874. At Grieg's visit to Franz Liszt in Rome in 1870, Liszt played the notes a prima vista (by sight) before an audience of musicians and gave very good comments on Grieg's work which would later influence him. The work was first published in Leipzig in 1872, but only after Johan Svendsen intervened on Grieg's behalf. The concerto is the first piano concerto ever recorded—by pianist Wilhelm Backhaus in 1909.[9] Due to the technology of the time, it was heavily abridged and ran only six minutes. Grieg revised the work at least seven times, usually in subtle ways, but the revisions amounted to over 300 differences from the original orchestration. In one of these revisions, he undid Liszt's suggestion to give the second theme of the first movement (as well as the first theme of the second) to the trumpet rather than to the cello. The final version of the concerto was completed only a few weeks before Grieg's death, and it is this version that has achieved worldwide popularity. The original 1868 version has been recorded, by Love Derwinger, with the Norrköping Symphony Orchestra under Junichi Hirokami.

Edvard Hagerup Grieg (Bergen, 15 de Junho de 1843 — Bergen, 4 de Setembro de 1907) é o mais célebre compositor norueguês, um dos mais célebres do período romântico e do mundo. As suas peças mais conhecidas são a suíte sinfónica Holberg, o concerto para piano e a suíte Peer Gynt. Como outros grandes compositores, Edvard Grieg demonstrara desde muito novo um excepcional talento musical. Começou a sua aprendizagem com a mãe, sobretudo no piano, aos seis anos de idade. Na adolescência, foi influenciado por Mozart, Weber e Chopin. Suas primeiras composições datam de 1857. O célebre violinista norueguês Ole Bull apercebeu-se dos dotes do jovem Edvard e este foi enviado para o conservatório de Leipzig. Aí teve uma rica e proveitosa experiência no meio musical. Trabalhava com importantes músicos como Carl Reinecke, Louis Plaidy, Ernst Ferdinand Wenzel e Ignaz Moscheles e ouvia música como a interpretação de Clara Schumann do concerto para piano de seu marido, Robert Schumann. Porém, Edvard Grieg sentia-se insatisfeito com o que aprendera. Em 1863 parte para Copenhaga para estudar com o maior representante da música escandinava, o compositor Niels Gade, continuando ainda assim a duvidar do que aprendera. Em 1864, após conhecer o nacionalista norueguês Rikard Nordraak, compositor do atual hino nacional da Noruega, seguiu uma nova corrente estilística de inspiração folclórica. As fontes folclóricas norueguesas passaram a ser parte essencial de sua obra, tornando-se Grieg um dos grandes expoentes da música nacionalista, sempre lutando contra o domínio da música alemã, cujos principais representantes eram Robert Schumann e Félix Mendelssohn. Como compositor reconhecido, Grieg promoveu a música norueguesa através de concertos e aulas. Em 1865 compõe a primeira sonata para piano e as célebres Peças Líricas entre muitas outras obras. Tornou-se regente da Harmoniske Seleskab e foi um dos fundadores da Christiania Musikforening (1871). Tanto a qualidade como a quantidade de obras que compõe levam-no a uma posição de destaque no contexto musical. Grieg acabaria por se tornar no mais forte expoente da cultura musical escandinava. Em 1906, quando esteve em Londres quis conhecer o pianista e compositor australiano Percy Grainger. Grainger era um grande admirador de Grieg, uma enorme empatia estabeleceu-se entre ambos os músicos. Pioneiro na utilização impressionista da harmonia e da sonoridade ao piano, recebeu apoio de Franz Liszt, seu grande amigo e incentivador. Falece em sua cidade natal, Bergen, em 4 de Setembro de 1907, em decorrência de uma doença pulmonar que o acompanhou desde a juventude.
Frank Porretta Edvard Grieg Richard Nordraak 1970
This is the hauntingly beautiful theme to the Song of Norway sung by international opera singer Frank Porretta, who portrayed Edvard Grieg's closest friend Richard Nordraak in the film, with the breathtaking beauty of Norway as the backdrop. This wonderful 1970 musical told the story of the musical career of Norway's most famous composer, Edvard Grieg (portrayed by Toralv Maurstad).
Edvard Grieg Neeme Järvi Shishkin Niels Gade Rikard Nordraak Göteborgs Symfoniker 1864 1865 1866 1867 1888
In autumn, concert Overture, Op.11, by Edvard Grieg (c.1865) Performers: Göteborgs Symfoniker, directed by Neeme Järvi Painting: Golden autumn (1888), by Ivan Shishkin Edvard Grieg composed this piece in 1865 while in Denmark, where he met the danish composers J.P.E.Hartmann and Niels Gade, and the composer of the Norwegian national anthem Rikard Nordraak. This times for Grieg were rather happy ones, he many life-long friends (including the composers mentioned above), who of them Nordraak in 1864, a great Norvegian Nationalist, made our composer interested with the folk music of their common motherland, a interest who Grieg will carry and apply in his music all his life, sadly the friendship was cut short by Nordraak death the years later (1866), whom Grieg composed a funeral march for him. There in Denmark he also met the love of his life, his cousin Nina Hagerup. Grieg was charmed by Nina pianist's skills but especially of her's beautiful voice. Grieg was lucky, because the love was reciprocated, he and Nina became secretly engaged in 1864, and they will marry three years later (1867). Good listening by MikoNatt!
