Percy Grainger was great friends with Edvard Grieg, who like him wrote mostly miniatures and short pieces , this concerto was the only large scale piece. Also friends with Frederick Delius another lyrical composer.
Grainger is like friends with everyone lmao. I recently viewed a transcription of the third movement of Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto and some guy down in the comments said Rachmaninoff and Grainger were friends.
@@laiyinquan8355 that's more likely as Grainger resided in the USA during the 1930s ,indeed he married a Danish lady in the Hollywood bowl in front of a large crowd I believe. This would coincide with Rachmaninov's time in America 🇺🇸
A recording of Grainger playing the concerto with the Sydney Symphony--via piano roll--was released by RCA Victor. A later performance at a London Proms concert is on youtube
Yes he did. He made an arrangement of the entire concerto: ruclips.net/video/TeeCo9g2otk/видео.htmlsi=nZJTlU6nq3xxjOcH The practice of playing a "summary" is not so uncommon. Listen to Saint-Saens playing a short recap of his Second piano concerto (mov.I).
The author of the sheet music is thoughtful to the performer
That is because he was a performer ;)

amazing!!
A grande ausência notada nessa compilação de Grasinger é a supressão da Cadenza desse primeiro movimento.
Ficou um vazio incômodo em 2:34 e 2:36;
Someone needs to add the cadenza
Is there a Grainger-Arrangement of the second mouvement?
Yes. But I can't find the score anywhere. Here is his arrangement of the full concerto: ruclips.net/video/TeeCo9g2otk/видео.htmlsi=nZJTlU6nq3xxjOcH
Nice
thank you

What kind of Music sheet he using? its so different from the original, i think this is the EASY version lol
It's Grainger's arrangement of the concerto, where he condensed the orchestra & piano part into something playable by a single person.
So this is a solo piano transcription?
Did he not arrange the whole first movement? Seems a shame.
