  • CARL NIELSEN and NANCY DALBERG Nancy Dalberg As Carl Nielsen’S Pupil, Assistant and Patron
    CARL NIELSEN AND NANCY DALBERG Nancy Dalberg as Carl Nielsen’s pupil, assistant and patron By Lisbeth Ahlgren Jensen Nielsen’s activities as composer, violinist, conductor and teacher brought him into contact with a large number of people over the years, and thanks to his charming personality, many of these came to enjoy close bonds of friendship with him. In sev- eral cases his friendships developed into a means of practical and human support that was of incalculable significance for him. His circle of acquaintances included the land- owners Bodil and Viggo Neergaard at Fuglsang manor house on Lolland, Charlotte Trap de Thygeson at the Damgaard estate, business enterpreneurs such as the directors Carl Johan and Vera Michaelsen, and the Mannheimer family of bank directors in Gothenburg, as well as fellow-musicians and one-time pupils. We may add to these the name of the composer Nancy Dalberg. She was Nielsen’s pupil, she helped him with the fair copying and instrumentation of some of his works, and she belonged to his personal circle of acquaintances. But Nielsen also played an im- portant role in her career as a composer, since it was not least through his professional and friendly support that she secured public performances of her first larger works. The purpose of this article is to illuminate their friendship in its various aspects, as seen in diffuse and diverse sources, including their correspondence, Nielsen’s diary entries, musical materials and concert reviews. The aim is to contribute to a descrip- tion of the circle around Nielsen. As an admirer and patron, Nancy Dalberg may be compared with the Michaelsens, and as a musical assistant she may be compared with, for example, the pianist Henrik Knudsen and the composer and music historian Knud Jeppesen.

  • Courtesy of Eric Nelson, As Posted on Klarinet, 9 and 11 Feb 1997. Eric Nelson Is Clarinetist with the Lightwood Duo, an Actively Touring Clarinet/Guitar Duo
    Courtesy of Eric Nelson, as posted on Klarinet, 9 and 11 Feb 1997. Eric Nelson is clarinetist with The Lightwood Duo, an actively touring clarinet/guitar duo. Their CDs are available through their website, http://www.lightwoodduo.com. About two weeks ago, there were some questions about Aage Oxenvad on the list. Having studied Nielsen and clarinet at the Royal Conservatory in Copenhagen [in 1979], I would like to pass on some first-hand information on Oxenvad. There are two major obstacles to acquiring accurate information about Danish music. First, much of the info exists only in the Danish language; not exactly a familiar language to most. Second, the Danes are not inclined to value the sharing of such information. To quote Tage Scharff, the clarinet professor with whom I studied: "You Americans [and English as well] love to get together and give lectures, deliver papers, and hold conferences. Here in Denmark, vi spiller! [we PLAY]". He was quite amused that I, a performing clarinetist, would be so interested in such material. On a posting on this list, Jarle Brosveet wrote: "In the first place Oxenvad did not inspire Nielsen to write the concerto, although he was the first to perform it. It was written at the request of Nielsen's benefactor and one-time student Carl Johan Michaelsen. Second, Oxenvad, who is described as a choleric, made this unflattering remark about Nielsen and the concerto: "He must be able to play the clarinet himself, otherwise the would hardly have been able to find the worst notes to play." Oxenvad performed it on several occasions with no apparent success although he reportedly did all he could, whatever that is supposed to mean.

Meillä Nielsenin tuotannosta tunnetaan kuitenkin vain kuusi sinfoniaa, muu- tama orkesteriteos ( Helios -alkusoitto, Pan og Syrinx sekä huilu- ja klarinettikonsertot) ja ehkä oop- perat Saul og David ja Maskarade . Nielsenin laaja vokaalituotanto, kantaatit ja lukuisat näyttämö- musiikkiteokset ovat Tanskan ulkopuolella huonosti tunnettuja. Kirjaston luetteloijille tarkoitetun ohjeluettelon tarve ei ole ollut erityisen suuri, mutta koska Niel- senin tuotantoon liittyy erinäisiä kielellisiä erityiskysymyksiä ja eräiden sinfonioiden erisnimisyys on synnyttänyt epätietoisuutta, lienee tällekin luettelolle jonkinlainen tarve. Olen pitänyt teosauktoriteettina suhteellisen vanhaa Dan Fogin teosluetteloa*, jonka FS-numerointi on vakiintunut yleiseen käyttöön satunnaisten opusnumeroiden
