Weekend of March 3, 2012
Grieg's Piano Concerto
Edvard Grieg wrote one of the best opening lines in all of classical music in his Piano Concerto in A Minor. And like the best pickup lines, we fall for it every time. It has us intrigued, wanting to know more. We'll hear those dramatic, crashing chords that draw us in, and the rest of the musical conversation, from a concert in Montreal.
