Rued
Langgaard (1893-1952) is
one of the most important
Danish composers of the
20th century.
Langgaard’s piano
compositions are evenly
spread out over his 50
productive years from
1902 to 1951. Generally
speaking hispiano music
represents the entire
broad spectrum of
expression and the
stylistic diversity one
finds in his music. Some
of the most personal
works he created are to
be found among the piano
works, e.g. Insectarium
(1917), Music ofthe Abyss
(1921-24), Insanity
Fantasy (1914-49) and Le
Béguinage
(1948-49). In many of the
works, however, nostalgic
and romantic moods of
expression are
predominant.
This
publication presents
Langgaard’spianomus
ic in its entire range.
The three volumes
comprise 26 works and 44
individual piano pieces.

performance-oriented

Langgaard’s works

basis.
