Zijn laatste jaren (1946-1961) Zijn Jeugdjaren (1882 - 1895) P ercy Aldridge Grainger werd als George Percy Grainger geboren op 8 juli 1882 in het toen nog ruige Brighton, Melbourne, Australië. Hij was enig kind van John Harry Grainger, een Londen's architect, en Rose Annie Aldridge, het achtste kind van een hotelierfamilie uit Adelaide in Zuid Australië. Z ijn formele schoolperiode duurde nog geen drie maanden. Zijn klasgenootjes waren zeer ruw tegen hem en scholden hem uit vanwege zijn uiterlijk. Eens zag hij hen een dier mishandelen, en prompt weigerde Percy nog langer naar school te gaan. Zijn moeder Rose nam de verantwoordelijkheid voor zijn opleiding over. Naast Engels, vreemde talen, geschiedenis, kunstgeschiedenis en rekenen studeerde Percy elke dag twee uur lang piano, met zijn moeder aan zijn zijde. Dit stramien begon op vijfjarige leeftijd en duurde tot zijn tiende. J ohn Grainger was een man van aanzien en alom gerespecteerd als architect. Hij hield van muziek en in zijn vrije tijd schilderde hij. Hij had echter een alcohol verslaving. Dit botste met Rose's onafhankelijke persoonlijkheid en resulteerde meer dan eens in gewelddadige ruzies. Een keer zat Rose hem met een paardenzweep door het huis achterna. Hun huwelijk sneuvelde definitief toen

He was the only child of John Harry Grainger , an architect from London, and Rose Annie Aldridge , the eighth child of a hotelkeeper's family in Adelaide, South Australia. H O wing to her self-motivation and thirst for knowledge, Rose Grainger was a well-educated woman. A tomboy in her early years, she matured into a reader of Greek mythology and the writings of Dickens, Hans Christian Andersen, and Byron. She loved the songs of Stephen Foster and the piano music of Beethoven, Chopin and Grieg. She was an aggressive person who succeeded at everything she attempted, including the development of her son's musical career.

Extractions: Edited by David Pear Lincolnshire Posy , he was enduringly popular with the band movement in America. On a personal level, his development of the language of 'blue-eyed English' was stillborn, and his muscular style of pianism found few adherents among the next generation of performers. His frankly expressed views on sexual licence were also many decades ahead of their time. Today, however, Grainger the musician is again in the ascendant. His more innovative works are gaining a belated hearing, while his standards, such as Country Gardens , remain firm favorites.

His circle by Dr Kay Dreyfus Rosa (Rose) Annie Grainger (née Aldridge) was born at Adelaide, South Australia, on 3 July 1861, the eigth child and third daughter of George Aldridge and Sarah Jane Aldridge (née Grant). Both parents had come to Australia from Kent in England. For the first nineteen years of her life, Rose lived at the family home. On 1 October 1880 she married John Harry Grainger , English-born architect and civil engineer, and moved to Melbourne. The marriage was not a happy one. In September 1890 John Grainger returned home to England on a visit. Though he was back in Australia by the end of the year, he did not rejoin his family, though they met occasionally and continued to correspond through the years to John's death in 1917. For Rose, the major event of her marriage was the birth of her son and only child, George Percy Grainger, on 8 July 1882. Rose adored her son, and, from the time of her husband's departure in 1890 to the time of her own death in 1922, was his sole companion. He was the central focus of her attention: she shared his life, his friends, his travels and his interests. More than that, though, she believed unswervingly in his genius and devoted her life's energies to its development and recognition. The boy showed early and precocious talent both in music and in painting, his earliest musical studies proceeding under his mother's supervision; Rose was herself an accomplished pianist. Indeed, as Percy had only three months' formal schooling, at the Misses Turner's Preparatory School for Boys in Caroline Street, South Yarra, probably in 1892 or 1893, Rose was responsible for his general education as well.

Extractions: Percy music photographs artist ... His circle George Percy Grainger was born on 8 July 1882 at Brighton, Victoria. His father, John H. Grainger , was a well-known architect whose designs included the Princes Bridge in Melbourne. Quite precocious, Percy made his first concert tour when he was twelve. Soon afterwards, he went to Germany with his mother Rose to further his training as a pianist and composer. Between 1901 and 1914, Percy and his mother lived in London where his talents flourished. During this time, Colonial Song and Mock Morris were published. In these years he befriended the Norwegian composer, Edvard Grieg, whose love of national music inspired Percy to look closely at English folk music. With the aid of a phonograph, Percy collected songs from folk-singers and made many famous arrangements from these. His friendships with Scandinavian and English musical figures (Herman Sandby, Delius, Cyril Scott , Balfour Gardiner) developed during this period.

Extractions: Book Description: This extensively revised edition of John Bird's acclaimed biography of Percy Grainger gives the first circumstantial account of the life and works of one of the strangest figures in twentieth-century music. Behind Grainger's highly original compositional achievements, folksong collecting, and glittering career as a virtuoso concert pianist lay a tragic and chaotic personal life, long domination by his mother, unorthodox sexual predilections, an eccentric athleticism, a demonic spiritual drive, and a wildly inconsistent personal philosophy with Anglo-Saxon obsessions such as his famous "Blue-Eyed English". A list of published compositions, a current discography of performances by Grainger, and a selection of his seminal writings complete what has already proved to be a standard work.

One has this image from Ken Russells film of the wacky Grainger pushing Deliuss bathchair downhill at breakneck speed or charging through the house to catch successfully a tennis ball he has just thrown over the roof from the back to the front. Occasionally this music brings such images to mind. But he was more than just dotty. The very first track

Er ist bekannt für seine Bearbeitungen der Werke anderer Komponisten (z.B Studien über Chopin Etüden ), aber auch mit seinen eigenen Klavierwerken konnte er sich Ansehen erwerben. Das komplette " Triakontameron ", einer dreißigteiligen Folge von "Stimmungsbildern und Szenen im 3er Takt", die der weltberühmte Pianist und Komponist im Jahr 1920, als Abgesang auf den Wiener Walzer, komponierte, sind jetzt erstmalig auf CD erschienen. Percy Grainger war Schüler von Busoni, befreundet mit E. Grieg und wirkte als Pianist und Dirigent. Die neue CD mit Klavierstücken aus seiner Jugend zeigt einen Komponisten im Alter zwischen 10 und 20 Jahren, der bereits gekonnt Präludien Bachs adaptierte, eigenständige Stücke und Volksliedbearbeitungen schuf. Das klingt in einer gewissen Weise wie Unterhaltungsmusik ansehen, das dafür aber auf hohen Niveau.
