Notes, references, and sources

Notes
  1. ^ No studio recording has been made of the Symphonic Sketch (Op. 5). However, based on an archival recording from Swedish Radio, it appears to be a short piece, about 6 minutes in duration, that is scored for orchestra.
  2. ^ In the 1980s, Larsson "simplified" the Saxophone Concerto to make it "more accessible" for soloists who lacked the "special effects" of the piece's dedicatee, the "pioneering saxophone virtuoso" Sigurd Raschèr.[8]
  3. ^ Details about the Cello Concerto—in particular the tempo markings for its three movements—come from a WorldCat record of the score: OCLC 52639647.
  4. ^ Although the publisher, Gehrmans Musikförlag, lists the third movement of the Violin Concerto as "Allegro molto", the liner notes to Sony Classical's recording of the work denotes it as "Lento".[11] The manuscript that the publisher provides on its website has the movement as "Lento" (p. 76 of the score), which later transitions into "Allegro molto" (p. 80).
  5. ^ Larsson's objective for the series was to provide Sweden's state-sponsored amateur orchestras (which, from 1945 to 1947, he had been appointed to inspect) with a modern but technically-feasible repertoire.[12]
  6. ^ Along with Gullberg, Larsson developed a genre of popular entertainment called the "lyrical suite", which alternated recited poetry with musical interludes. Four of the 10 numbers that comprise God in Disguise are recitations of Gullberg's narrative poem; these verses are not included here in the above list, which details the musical movements only.
  7. ^ Details about Due auguri—in particular the tempo markings for its two movements—come from a WorldCat record of the score: OCLC 17599824.
  8. ^ Details about the Two Humoresques—in particular the tempo markings for its two movements—come from a WorldCat record of the score: OCLC 301893327.
