Beschreibung
Swedish language. Octavo 15 x 20 cm. Weight 250 gr. Wrappers, 174 pp. The book is in Fine condition, without any visible defects, losses, remarks and stains. Remarkable avant-garde cover design by Finnish famous sculptor and artist Wäino Aaltonen. Diktonius eventually became one of the most important music critics in Finland. This volume is a collection of critical writings and essays on music reprinted from "Arbetarbladet" and "Nya Argus" in which various composers, past and present, make an appearance. Cecil Gray's Sibelius book provides the impetus for Diktonius's longest essay on the composer, bur excerpts from other reviews appear as well. Appraising Diktonius's attitudes as a music critic reviewers find that "Opus 12" reveals more about its author than about music. Eemer Diktonius (1896-1961) was a Finland-Swedish poet, novelist, critic and composer. He is considered as one of the most important Modernists that Finland has known, a reformer of the poetic expression. Diktonius originally wanted to become a composer and compose a few published works. After Finnish Civil War in 1918 he went to Paris and London, where his music studies suffered while he focused on politically radical poetry. His early works are characterized by impressionism. Later he turned to a more thoughtful serene nature poetry. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 61
