The early manuscripts are dated 1897, with revisions taking place before 1904 and again in 1906-7 and 1909 (RT, 164).

The compositional history of the Piano Concerto is among the most complex of Delius's oeuvre. Originally a 'three-in-one'-movement Fantasy for Orchestra and Pianoforte, written in 1897, the first performance in 1904 was of a revised, three-movement version. Before publication and another performance by the dedicatee, Théodor Szántó, in 1907, further substantial revisions were made, creating a 'compromise', as Beecham saw it (RT.1986, 94). The 1907 version returned to the three-movements-in-one form, but kept the more classical key scheme of the three-movement version. It also incorporated a new final section, and extensive editing of the solo part by Szántó. Subsequently, further suggestions by Szántó were rejected by Delius, but minor amendments were incorporated into later editions.

 Delius Trust 1745/1/41

This is a photostat copy of a manuscript full score, in a copyist's hand, once belonging to Percy Grainger. Each page is marked 'Delius: Piano Concerto, Conductor's Score' by Grainger, and at the end of the score is a marking '1914, Wien'. The score contains many conductor's marks made before photographing, some in Grainger's hand. After photography the score was used by Beecham, and shows his blue pencil markings. This score shows substantial differences with the 1907 Harmonie-Verlag edition, but is in general agreement with the 1951 Boosey & Hawkes edition (see RL, 152).

This item reflects a transitional stage in the life of the final, published version of the work. It is in Universal Edition covers (UE no. 3901, 1921), but the interior is the 1907 Harmonie-Verlag edition, but with numerous pastings over and corrections which update the score to the definitive version. In addition, this copy contains numerous markings in pencil and blue pencil, the latter certainly, and the former probably by Beecham. Notes in the Delius Trust's Accessions book (by Threlfall) indicate that Universal never re-engraved the full score, but provided copies amended in this form.
