Description: DUO-ART PIANO ROLL. GRIEG'S PIANOFORTE CONCERTO 1st Mov GRIEG'S PIANOFORTE CONCERTO 1st Mov (Allegro molto moderato)Specially arranged and played by the Composer's friend PERCY GRAINGERPercy Aldridge Grainger (born George Percy Grainger; 8 July 1882 – 20 February 1961) was an Australian-born composer, arranger and pianist who lived in the United States from 1914 and became an American citizen in 1918. In the course of a long and innovative career he played a prominent role in the revival of interest in British folk music in the early years of the 20th century. Although much of his work was experimental and unusual, the piece with which he is most generally associated is his piano arrangement of the folk-dance tune "Country Gardens".Grainger left Australia at the age of 13 to attend the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt. Between 1901 and 1914 he was based in London, where he established himself first as a society pianist and later as a concert performer, composer and collector of original folk melodies. As his reputation grew he met many of the significant figures in European music, forming important friendships with Frederick Delius and Edvard Grieg. He became a champion of Nordic music and culture, his enthusiasm for which he often expressed in private letters, sometimes in crudely racial or anti-Semitic terms.In 1914, Grainger moved to the United States, where he lived for the rest of his life, though he travelled widely in Europe and Australia Percy Grainger became a good friend of Edvard Grieg COMPOSED BY GRIEGDA 6475 MANY MORE DUO-ART ROLLS BEING LISTED WEEKLY The roll was produced and manufacture by The Aeolian Company, Great Britain.
