Piano Pieces

Hilding Rosenberg became one of the most important Swedish music personalities of the 20th century. In addition to composing his own music, he made contemporary music and old masters available to the public as a conductor - he studied with Hermann Scherchen among others. From 1932 until 1934 he managed the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm. Among the dramatists working with him were Bertold Brecht and the elderly Thomas Mann. Numerous awards and distinctions mark the meritorious career of a man, who on paper is considered the "father of Swedish modernity", but whose fame as a composer is still considerably mysterious.
