Summary of This Score
Grieg's Piano Concerto, Op. 16, is an iconic work of the Romantic repertoire, as famous as it is challenging to edit. Already widely disseminated during the composer's lifetime, it has undergone numerous reprints, sometimes retouched and corrected by Grieg, which over time created a genuine "imbroglio" of sources. This edition emphasizes clarity and coherence: a detailed preface explains the editorial choices, identifies the different layers of the musical text, and enlightens the performer on the origin of the encountered variants.
The work entrusted to Einar Steen-Nökleberg, notably recognized for his interpretation of the complete piano works of Grieg, adds valuable insight for pianists. Without distorting the writing, he carefully reworks the so-called "orchestral" piano part to make it more suitable for pianistic requirements: improved readability, more natural transitions, and a balance between concertante power and playing comfort. The goal is to allow the soloist to focus on projection, phrasing, and the construction of large musical arcs while preserving the characteristic energy of the work.
Whether you are working on this concerto for an audition, a competition, or preparation with accompaniment, this score provides a solid support to address technical challenges (octaves, chords, wide stretches, endurance) and stylistic issues (Romantic momentum, Nordic lyricism, controlled rubato). An edition designed to accompany the performer in an informed, demanding, and musically convincing reading.
