Piano Concerto in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) [Paperback]

Edvard Grieg (Author), Music Scores (Author)

Book Description

Series: Dover Music Scores | Publication Date: March 17, 1994

This stirring concerto is one of the most popular ever written, and one of the most recognizable of all musical works in the standard repertoire. It is filled with youthful ebullience — Grieg was 25 when he composed it — and great melodic inspiration, much of it derived from Norway's rich folk music tradition.

This review is from: Piano Concerto in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) (Paperback)

A well presented , easy to follow score. This is a must for any lover of this concerto. It is worth buying to appreciate both the simplicity and complexity of the piano part. Franz Liszt apparently played it at sight - how good was he! Great product - highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Basic Score, April 23, 2001

This review is from: Piano Concerto in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) (Paperback)

The score itself is very good, with the whole page taken up by the different instruments. The 9 1/2" by 12" size is generous and makes the score much easier to read than the "minature series". But other than a TOC and a description of the instrumentation that is mostly a translation of the Italian, there is nothing else to the book. That is except for a four page list of other scores from the publisher. Overall it is just what it says it is, sheet music.
