SVENDSEN, JOHANN SEVERIN (184o )

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 175 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
SVENDSEN, JOHANN SEVERIN (184o ) ,
Norwegian
  composer, was born in Christiania on the 3oth of September 1840. He learnt the elements of music and
violin
 -playing from his father, and after serving for some time in the army, and later touring as violinist with a troup of instrumentalists, he entered the conservatorium at
Leipzig
  through the aid of the king of Sweden. After another tour, which extended to the British Isles, Svendsen spent a year in Paris, and in 18711872 was
leader
  of the once famous Euterpe concerts in
Leipzig
 . In 1871 he married an American, and from 1872 to 1877 he conducted the Christiania Musical Society, while in 18771879 he lived in Rome, London and Paris. In 1883 Svendsen became
court
  ka.pelimeister at
Copenhagen
 . Probably we have to go back to Schubert to find a composer Whose
Opus
  1 has attained the wide popularity of Svendsen's A
minor
 
string
  quartet, while his beautiful octet,
Opus
  3, added to his fame. Though Svendsen was at one time intimate with
Wagner
 , the latter does not seem to have influenced his music, which includes two symphonies, a
violin
  concerto, and a.romance for violin, as well as a number of
Norwegian
  rhapsodies for the orchestra.
