Ove Vedsten LarsenAbout
His music (he composed 8 symphonies, a violin concerto and a Spring Fantasy for piano, orchestra and voices, and a quantity of chamber and orchestra works) is superbly crafted - romantic but with a classical poise and form. The influence of his friends Mendelssohn and Schumann can be detetected, but there is a very definite Scandinavian feel to his music. Schumann wrote that he could detect ‘the lovely beechwoods of Denmark’ in Gade’s music.
The 2 Novelletten are among his most successful works. Beautifully crafted, elegant and warm, they are rewarding discoveries, and a good introduction to this neglected but important figure in 19th century Scandinavian music.
