Biography
Systematic music education has not received (year studied at the music school of Richard Andersson in Stockholm). In 1892 he made his debut as a pianist and was subsequently known, in particular, for his performances in duet with violinist Tour Aulin and in the ensemble with his string quartet. In 1893 he composed the four-part First Piano Concerto, which reveals the influence of Johannes Brahms style. Then he studied in Berlin , where he came under the strong influence of the music of Richard Wagner and Anton Bruckner , especially in the First Symphony ( 1902-1903 ), and also in the Second Piano Concerto ( 1903 ). Later, he revised his creative orientations, relying on the experience of Carl Nielsen and Jan Sibelius , who had distanced themselves from German musical influence, and renounced his First Symphony. In 1906 he headed the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra , led by him until 1922 . In 1909 , for a short time he took the post of music director of the Uppsala University and his orchestra . In 1923 - 1925 conductor of the Stockholm Royal Opera. He died of a heart attack.

N. Rozhdestvensky . Other works include two piano concertos, five piano sonatas, two operas, string quartets, choral music.
