This collection of character pieces by Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian and Danish composers is a good illustration of the fact that there is plenty to discover in those areas of Europe that more rarely enjoy the limelight. The composers featured in this volume were all famous in their day, and not only participated in European musical life but also helped to shape it: the Norwegian Agathe Backer-Grondahl, for example, was a pupil of Ferenc Liszt and Hans von Bülow, the Swede Ludvig Norman was also an outstanding concert pianist, and Niels Wilhelm Gade was the most important Danish romantic composer, conductor of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and a friend of Mendelssohn andSchumann.

Die Sammlung an Charakterstücken von schwedischen, finnischen, norwegischen und dänischen Komponisten zeigt auch gut, dass man sehr wohl in den Gebieten Europas vieles entdecken kann, die weniger in Rampenlicht stehen. Die Meister des Bandes waren zu ihrer Zeit nicht nur berühmte Komponisten und am europäischen Musiklebens beteiligt, sie beeinflussten es auch. Beispielsweise war die Norwegerin Agathe Backer-Grondahl eine Schülerin von Franz Liszt und Hans von Bülow, der Schwede Ludvig Norman war selbst ein ausgezeichneter Pianist. Niels Wilhelm Gade, der bedeutendste romantische Komponist Dänemarks, war Dirigent des Leipziger Gewandhausorchesters und Freund von Mendelssohn undSchumann.
