Abstract
Grieg began his Piano Concerto in June 1868 and completed the score early the following year. Edmund Neupert was the soloist at the first performance, which took place in Copenhagen on 3 April 1869, with Holger Simon Paulli conducting the orchestra of the Royal Theater. Grieg revised the Concerto many times, in 1872, 1882, 1890, and 1895, sending his last set of changes (including the addition of third and fourth horns) to his publisher on 21 July 1907, six weeks before his death. What is generally heard nowadays is an edition prepared in 1917 by the Australian composer and pianist Percy Grainger that includes still further changes Grainger said had been authorized by Grieg; Grainger had studied the Concerto with Grieg, who declared that Grainger would play it better than anyone. Most of these revisions affect the orchestration and details of performance directions rather than the work’s shape or thematic material.

What is generally heard nowadays is an edition prepared in 1917 by the Australian composer and pianist Percy Grainger that includes still further changes Grainger said had been authorized by Grieg; Grainger had studied the Concerto with Grieg, who declared that Grainger would play it better than anyone.
