The Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 16, composed by Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) in 1868, was the only concerto Grieg completed. It is one of his most popular works and among the most popular of all piano concerti.

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, which was warmer than that of his native Norway. The work was premiered by Edmund Neupert on April 3, 1869 in Copenhagen, with Holger Simon Paulli conducting.

The concerto was originally scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in A and B flat, 2 bassoons, 2 horns in E and E flat, 2 trumpets in C and B flat, 2 trombones, tuba, timpani and strings (violins, violas, cellos and double basses). He later added 2 horns and changed the tuba to a third trombone.

Conductor: Kurt Masur
Orchestra: Dresdner Philharmonie
Piano: Annerose Schmidt

  • @hack4100 I agree

  • This new generation doesn't know what they're missing. This music needs to continue throughout time not fade out like it is now with the new genre
