Edvard Grieg's Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 16, composed in 1868, is one of his most famous works and a staple of the Romantic piano concerto repertoire. The concerto is noted for its nationalistic flavor, drawing on Norwegian folk songs and dances, its dramatic opening cascade of piano chords, and the lyrical interplay between the soloist and orchestra. It combines virtuoso piano passages with Grieg's characteristic melodic invention and rich orchestrations.

The work has been a crowd favorite and a staple of symphony programming for over a century, Parker explains, yet its virtuosity and grand piano writing is more approachable than that of Tchaikovsky or Rachmaninoff.
