Cade in connectionwith the overture"Efterklang af Ossian"(Echo of Ossian- the piecewith whichCade made his breakthroughJ Nielsen's piece, which was not publisheduntil 19B1, is dedicatedto one Mr. M Hansen.a namewhich f itsseveral of hisregimental colleagues Which of them had the honour of being dedicatedthis little, unassumingpiece is impossibleto d iscover. With the two FantasyPieces for Oboe and Pianowe progressinto Nielsen's "official" careeras a composer.They bearthe opus numberof 2 and were writtenin'l BB9- the year afterNielsen made hrs debut as a composerwith the successfulperformance in the TivoliConcert Hall in Copenhagenof the LittleSuite for Strings.The Fantasypreces were printedby Wilhelm Hansenin 1890 but not premiereduntil 1 6th March1 891 by the oboistOlivo Krause(the dedicatee)and the pianist(and composer)Victor Bendix.Nielsen did not attendthe premiere:he was in Paris,madly in lovewith the youngsculptress Marie Brodersenwhom he marrreda month later. Canto Serioso (191 3) is an occasional piece, written f or a musical competitionto find a new hornistfor Det KongeligeKapel, the orchestraat the Royal Theatrein Copenhagen.At that time Nielsenwas the theatre's conductor,a job which broughthim more troublethen joy and which he lost the followingyear. The littleCanto Serioso, which the composeralso arranged for cello and piano,was only publishedin 1944,longafter hisdeath Nielsenwrote Serenalain Vano (Serenadein vain)in1914 at the behestof a groupof musicransf rom Det KongeligeKapel who wereplanning a tour with Ludwig van Beethoven'sSeptet and other pieceson their programme.The combinationof instrumentsis unusualbut has,of course,its roots in the instrumentalforceswhich Ludwigvan Beethovenchose. The composition was createdin a couple of days duringMay - a periodduring which he was starting to toy with the first sketches for his Fourth Symphony, Det tJudslukkelige(The Inextinguishable),and moreover on the thresholdof a long-lastingcrisis in Nielsen'smarriage. There are, however, traces neither of the Symphonynor or privateproblems in thislittle, fantasy-f illed Serenade in vain. Like the Canto Serioso,it was publishedposthumously (1 942). As a resultof the peace arrangementsafter the FirstWorld War Denmark recoveredpart of SouthernJutland from Cermanyin-1 920. This eventwas celebratedwith, among other things,a gala performance at the RoyalTheatre with wordsby the poet HelgeRode and musicby Nielsen.This play, Moderen [TheMother), which includessuch allegorical characters as Faithand Hope, was directlylinked with the historicaloccasion and has not livedon in the reDertorv.Parts of the music have,however, become well known, especially Tdgen letter(The Fog is lifting) which has become one of Nielsen'smost popularpieces. In its originalform the pieceis so shortthat it has become customaryto add a repeatwhich is not in the originalscore (and is therefore not played on this recording). One eveningin Iate1921 the pianistChristian Christiansen was sittingin a rehearsalwithfour out of the f ivemembers of the CopenhagenWind Quintet. Nielsenwas a f riendof christiansenand askedif he mightcome and listen,for they were playingmusic by Mozart,whom he admiredgreatly. The evening was long and profitable, also in the longerterm, for it was herethat the seeds of Nielsen'sown Wind Quintetwere sown. First of all he wasto completehis Fifth Symphony(BlS-CD-370), the f irst performanceof which he conducted himself in Copenhagenin January 1922. A couple of months later he conductedBerlioz' Symphonie Fantastique in which the greatcor anglaissolo was plaVedby SvendChristian Felumb, the oboistof the CopenhagenWind Quintet.Nielsen asked him if it was possiblefor a playerto exchangethe oboe for the cor anglaiswithin one piece.Felumb said that iswas - and so Nielsen used the cor anglais instead of the oboe in the prelude to the seriesof variationsin the lastmovement of hisQuintet. Nielsen explainedthe thinking behrnd the variation movement in a programmenote(in which, with hisusual reticence, he refersto himselfin rne third person):"Here the composerhas soughtto reproducethe charactersof the variousinstruments. Here they chatter away all at eachother at the same time;there they speak each for itself. Thetheme for thesevariations is one of C.N.'sown hymnsand it ishere the basisof a seriesof merry,baroque, elegiac or seriousvariations which culminatein the themestated in all itssimplicity and expressedmost stylishly." fhe Wind Quintet receivedits first performancear a pilvare concert on 30thApril 1922 at the houseof Hermanand LisaMannheimer in Cothenburg, Sweden.Mannheimer had been one of the foundersof the Cothenburg SymphonyOrchestra in 1905and chairmanof its board from 1922,Nielsen was a frequent guest conductor,especially in the period of his marital difficulties.The f irst public performancewas in Copenhagenon 9th October of the sameyear and the playerswere naturallythose for whom the work had been written. The Wind Quintet has become one of the classicsof the wind quintetrepertory, played and recordedby innumerableensembles all over tne world. By comparisonwith the Wind Quintet, the Allegretto for two recorders (1931 ) is a mere bagatelle.lt can, however,be locatedin a largerpedagogi6al context with its roots in a lecture given by Nielsento the Music Teaching Society in Copenhagenin December 1929.The lecture concerned - with Nielsen'sown manuscriptformulation as its introduction- "the questionof whetherour composerscould considercomposing music of a folk-likeor, more precisely,simple character, partly suitable for teachingyoung and not too advancedplayers, partly for beginners."Nielsen clearly felt that tnrs ouestionneeded an answer,because he set aboutwriting a collectionof 25 little oiano pieceswithout delay: this appearedin 1930 under the title - Klavermusikfor Smaaog Store(Piano Music for Creat and Small BIS-LP- 167116U.And in the year of his death he added a little PianoPiece in C and a miniature for two recordersto be published in the book Blokflalten (The Recorder)by the musicologistC.M. Savery. In thismanner the composerwho had beenrecognised internationally for yearsreached out backwardsin time to the young,musically inexperienced composer and regimentalmusician.

    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.

  • Flute: Late Style in Carl Nielsen’S Works for Flute
    THE “ARCADIAN” FLUTE: LATE STYLE IN CARL NIELSEN’S WORKS FOR FLUTE A thesis submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2004 by Beth E. Chandler B.M., Baylor University, 1993 M.M., New England Conservatory, 1996 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Revered as Denmark’s most celebrated musical figure and regarded as one of the finest, albeit under recognized composers, Carl Nielsen (1865–1931) holds a place as one of the most individual and creative artists of his time. Straddling the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and with consideration to the dramatically changing musical climate of that time, Nielsen’s vast output is stylistically complex. His music spans an array of styles, with elements of Romanticism in his early works, to an outright rejection of these same principles and an adoption of extensive progressivism in later works, all the while maintaining features of neoclassicism. There are six known works by Carl Nielsen that include flute in a solo or chamber role. These works date from his late, mature compositional period and include a short piece for solo flute from the incidental music to Aladdin, Op. 34 (1918–19); three pieces from the incidental music to Moderen (The mother), Op. 41 (1920): “Taagen letter” (The fog is lifting) for flute and piano or harp, “Børnene spiller” (The children are playing) for solo flute, and “Tro og håb spiller” (Faith and hope are playing) for flute and viola; the Wind Quintet, Op.

But the Danish composer’s ‘odd little work’, first heard in Copenhagen’s Odd Fellows Mansion (Palaeet) after a preparatory two-week tour through regional Denmark in 1915, has remained Nielsen’s most popular chamber work, together with a more ambitious wind quintet. It is a whimsical, humorous piece in the time-honoured tradition of the nocturnal serenade in pursuit of love – here, clearly, in vain (in vano).

  • Carl Nielsen and the Radio
    CARL NIELSEN AND THE RADIO By Knud Ketting Only a few places in Europe took up the newly developed radio as quickly and as widely as Denmark. In 1930, when the public Danish radio organisation had five years behind it, Denmark was statistically leading in European terms and had been there for some time. At this point in Denmark there were 119.5 registered radio listeners per 1000 inhabitants, and a long way behind lay Sweden with 79, and the UK, Austria and Ger- many with 77.5, 63.4, and 56.2 respectively.1 There were certainly also some ‘pirate listeners’, or ‘plankeværkslyttere’ as they were known in Denmark, which is to say, lis- teners who did not pay the statutory fee. But the Danish weekly radio magazine, which published the figures, maintained that the highest number could be found at the bot- tom of the European table, in Romania, where the official figure was 2.8. Radio broadcasting was of crucial importance for the development of musical life in Denmark, and therefore also for Carl Nielsen, without doubt the leading com- poser in Denmark at the time. As in a series of other European nations, the develop- ment of radio broadcasting began with a private war of the air waves, in which politi- cians then intervened. Relatively swift legislation led to the creation of a national licence- paid broadcasting authority on 1 April 1925, at first as a trial and then, within a year, on a permanent basis.
