Wallner,Bo. 40-tal. Stockholm: Rikskonserter /Informationsavdelningen, 1971.

 

Wallner describes what happened among composers in Sweden during the 1940s. A detailed table of what was composed during each year is given, comparing for groups of composers: 1) non-Scandinavian composers at the time,2) contemporary composers in Denmark, Norway and Finland, 3) Swedish composers who had appeared already during the 1920s and 1930s, 4) composers who did their debut during the 1940s.

Bo Wallner presents in his book all composers in the Scandinavian countries (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland), that were active from 1920 through the beginning of the 1960s. Larsson is mentioned together with his contemporaries, such as Dag Wir�n (1905-1986) and Gunnar de Frumerie (1908-1987). Wallner says that even if Larsson came in contact with both Arthur Honegger's (1892-1955) and Alban Berg's (1885-1935) music in the end of the 1920s, influences from those to composers are not visible in Larsson's compositions during the 1930s. On the other hand, elements associated with Hindemith are apparent between 1930 and 1935. Larsson's international debut at the ISCM (International Society for Contemporary Music) Festival in Florence 1934 is mentioned. The saxophone concerto is mentioned as one of the most prominent compositions during the 1930s, all of which featured neo-classic style. Furthermore, Larsson's shift to neo-romantic style during the 1940s and his use of dodecaphonic forms during the 1950s are discussed.

Larsson answers a survey of 6 questions, which have been asked to all the major Swedish composers at the time. Larsson says that his intent is to reach out to a broad audience. He tries not to categorize his music as being either light (popular) music or serious art music.

 

 

 

 

Bagger-Sjöbäck, L. "Concertinoserie - ett beriktigande av dess tillkomsthistoria," Musikrevy 45 (n3 1990): 91-2.

 

The article corrects misunderstanding concerning the initiative behind the concertino series op.45. The second edition of Sohlmans musiklexikon says that the series was commissioned and ordered from the Swedish Radio. The correction is that the initiative and idea of a concertino series was Larsson's only. However, the Swedish Radio was more than Willing to premier the entire series in their own program during the season 1957/58.

Larsson known in Australia for his Saxophone Concerto. Together with Dag Wir�n, Larsson represents the neo-classicism and can be compared with theirs contemporaries in England and France. However, both Larsson and Wir�n are influenced by Carl Nilsen. Most of Larsson's works are in divertimento style - for small orchestra. Recent compositions such as the Music for Orchestra has a darker harmony than the cantata Förklädd gud and the Pastoralsviten. The Violin Konsert is one of the best Scandinavian violin concertos along with Sibelius' and Faten Valen's violin concertos.(McCedie)
