Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) in 1866
Nationalism became the expression of a unique cultural heritage for composers of the Romantic era of the 19th century. This was felt strongly in the Scandinavian countries where Copenhagen was a center of the movement and where the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg lived when he composed his only Piano Concerto at the age of 25. The premiere in Copenhagen in 1869 was a triumphant success with subsequent performances in Norway, Germany and England and wider international success thereafter. Although Grieg became known for his expression of the Norwegian spirit in his songs, piano and other music, he rarely quoted extant folk songs directly, but preferred to create original melodic patterns and rhythms reminiscent of Norway. For example, the three-note opening motif of the Piano Concerto, repeated several times rapidly descending the octaves, is characteristic of Norwegian folk music. Fun fact: Grieg’s piano concerto was the first piano concerto ever recorded, but only six minutes due to the limited recording technology of 1909. Listen to the entire 30-minute concerto in a beautiful modern digital recording like noon masterpiece today at 2:00 p.m.
