Edvard Grieg - Andante con moto

Edvard Grieg, known for his orchestral works, songs, and piano miniatures, began work on a piano trio in 1878, completing only one movement: the Andante con moto in C minor. Discovered posthumously by Grieg's friend Julius Röntgen, the manuscript remained unpublished until 1978. Grieg's handwritten comments on the manuscript indicate he intended to revise the middle section, leaving the movement as a fascinating glimpse into the composer's creative process. Considered a fair draft, this piece offers insight into Grieg's artistic vision, akin to a partial treasure waiting to be unearthed.
