Niels Gade: Elegy, Op.19/1 (from "Akvareller")

The set of 10 aquarel pictures was composed in 1849-1850 by danish composer, conductor, violinist, organist and teacher. As always, I hope you like my playing :) Together with Johan Peter Emilius Hartmann, Gade was the leading Danish musician of his day. Gade was born in Copenhagen, the son of a joiner and instrument maker. He began his career as a violinist with the Royal Danish Orchestra, which premiered his concert overture Efterklange af Ossian ("Echoes of Ossian") in 1841. When his first symphony was turned down for performance in Copenhagen, he sent it to Felix Mendelssohn. Mendelssohn received the work positively, and conducted it in Leipzig in March 1843, to enthusiastic public reaction. Supported by a Danish government fellowship, Gade moved to Leipzig, teaching at the Conservatory there, working as an assistant conductor of the Gewandhaus Orchestra, and befriending Mendelssohn, who had an important influence on his music. In 1845 he conducted the premiere of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor. He also became friends with Robert Schumann and Robert Franz. Among Gade's works are eight symphonies, a violin concerto, chamber music, organ and piano pieces and a number of large-scale cantatas, Comala (1846) and Elverskud (1853) among them, which he called "concert pieces" (koncertstykker). These products, embraced post-1848 as works of Romantic nationalism, are sometimes based on Danish folklore. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A method to find scores:    • Where I get most of the scores for the cha...   My donation link to keep the channel growing: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/gamma...
