More than any other individual, thanks must go to my wife, who has had to put up with more of my rambling than anybody, and has graciously given me half of every weekend for the last several years to keep working. Thank you, too, to my adviser, David Grayson, whose steady support in a shifting institutional environment has been invaluable. To the rest of my committee: Sumanth Gopinath, Kelley Harness, and Richard Leppert, for their advice and willingness to jump back in on this project after every life-inflicted gap. Thanks also to my mother and to my kids, for different reasons. Thanks to the staff at the New York Public Library (the one on 5th Ave. with the lions) for helping me track down the SoHo Weekly News microfilm when it had apparently vanished, and to the professional staff at the New York Public Library for Performing Arts at Lincoln Center, and to the Fales Special Collections staff at Bobst Library at New York University. Special thanks to the much smaller archival operation at the Kitchen, where I was assisted at various times by John Migliore and Samara Davis.

Introduction This text is a highly selective overview about the music history of Sweden during the 20th century. Art music will be in the focus. However, in a Swedish context folk and pop- ular music cannot be ignored completely even when talking about composed music. This macroscopic overview will present some crucial events and works in Swedish mu- sic life. Beside compositional aspects it will present some features of music politics and outline the development of a music infrastructure in Sweden that can be compared to the Continental1 and which took place in the beginning of the 20th century.

Along with his brothers Olli and Musica Serena Timo, he started to perform as a young boy. Later on Juha Kangas studied in Helsinki at the Sibelius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Academy with well established composers such as Symphony No.39 in E-flat major, K.543 Rautavaara, Heininen and Sallinen. But it was the Adagio - Allegro legendary Professor of Violin Onni Suhonen who became his mentor. Andante con moto It was not only his ability as a violin teacher Menuetto (Allegretto) which most impressed Kangas: his experiences Finale (Allegro) as a member of Suhonen’s string quartet class were to remain with him for the rest of his life.
