This 82-page vintage Schirmer score was published in 1920 with a forward and notations by composer and piano virtuoso Percy Grainger, whose early career was boosted by his association with Grieg. In the forward, he writes:
\"During the summer of 1907, while Grieg\'s guest at his country home \"Troddhaugen,\" he and I spent much of our time rehearsing the concerto for a number of performances of the work to take place the following winter in the various capitals of Europe, himself conducting and myself playing the piano part. This tour was prevented by Grieg\'s death in September, 1907. But from our rehearsal of that summer, I gleaned a, to me, priceless body of experiences anent Grieg\'s intentions regarding the rendering of the concerto, including expression marks written by Grieg himself into my score of the work as well as my notes descriptive of his own performances of trhe solo part. These data I have endeavored to place on record in the present publication.\"
