Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) in 1866
Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg was born on this date in 1843. Only 25 years later, he composed his Piano Concerto in A-minor and it was an instant triumphant success at its premiere in 1869 with international performances soon following. Say “Happy Birthday” to Edvard Grieg with his only Piano Concerto, our Midday Masterpiece today at 2:00 pm.
