ive not played griegs concerto however ive had the odd look through it but ive had no look through brahms' exercises at all. From what ive seen of the concerto it has alot of thirds and alot of scalic figures so little technique compared to big technique(e.g liszt dante sonata lots of jumps arpeggios octaves etc) this is how my teacher describes it. I would reccomend maybe looking at some chopin etudes if you havent already ones like sunshine( i forget which number- maybe 8?) 10/5 and 25/2 but i suspect you shold have covered those by now, so look at maybe some liszt etudes maybe gnomeriegin ( or however you spell it- dance of the gnomes) but generally i think you just need to look at it and see what you would struggle with the most and try to play through that first. Good luck- greig is joke!
