Tiepin presented to Percy Grainger by the King and Queen of Norway, c.1910

Description

In 1905 Grainger presented his first Royal Command Performance before Queen Alexandra at Buckingham Palace, London. Performances for European royalty soon followed, including the King and Queen of Denmark in Copenhagen in 1905, and the King and Queen of Norway in 1910.

The Adelaide Observer reported in February 1910: ‘King Haakon VII, and Queen Maud of Norway have attended two recitals by brilliant Australian pianist, Percy Grainger, at Christiania. Their Majesties expressed themselves delighted with his playing and presented him with a handsome souvenir.’
