Niels Wilhelm Gade

Composer, conductor, and organist, regarded as one of the most important figures in Danish music history. His early works in particular are characterized by a musical language dubbed nationalist due to its strong references to Nordic folk tunes; over the course of his career this yields to a more neutral and more academic compositional manner. His rich oeuvre comprises orchestral and vocal works, chamber music and works for keyboard.

1817Born in Copenhagen on February 22, the son of an instrument maker.

from 1843Moves to Leipzig, where he socializes in the circles around Mendelssohn and Schumann.

I Fantasiestücke di Gade sono tutt’oggi apprezzati. La nuova edizione, però, aumenterà ancora l’interesse per la musica da camera del maestro danese.

Suonare news, 2018

This urtext edition is full of interesting information, not only about Niels Gade, but also about the word “fantasy” or “fantasia”. Editor Nicolai Pfeffer explains that in the 19th century, the highly popular “fantasy” form was “rather unrestrictive”. This printed edition seems to be flawless, and the phrasings and articulations are carefully marked. It includes three pages of the sources used and the justifications for edits made. Highly recommended!
