Arrangements
Kurt Atterberg is best known for his symphonies, operas and ballets. Atterberg once said that: “The Russians, Brahms, Reger were my ideals.” His music combines their influences with Swedish folk tunes.
Atterberg was born in Gothenburg. He studied cello and would later occasionally play the cello in orchestras. He published his first work, a Rhapsody for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 1, in 1908. In 1910 he sent the Rhapsody and an incomplete version of the Symphony No. 1 in B minor, soon published as Op. 3, to the Stockholm Conservatory for admission. He studied composition and orchestration with Andreas Hallén there while simultaneously receiving instruction at the Royal Institute of Technology, earning a masters’ degree in engineering in 1911.
His Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 7 was premiered by the Australian violinist Alma Moodie on 6 November 1919, with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under Max von Schillings.
From 1912 to 1968 Atterberg worked at the Swedish Patent and Registration Office, becoming head of a division there in 1937. In 1912, he made his conducting debut conducting his own Symphony No. 1. In 1916 he was appointed to Maestro of the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm, a position he held until 1922. From 1919 to 1957, he was a music critic for the Stockholmstidningen.
In 1924, Atterberg helped found the Society of Swedish Composers and the Swedish Performing Rights Society (an organization similar to ASCAP in America). In 1926 he became a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music and was secretary of that organization from 1940 to 1953.
While composing an opera about the Vikings, Härvard Harpolekare, Atterberg also wrote a “Sinfonia Piccola” (Symphony No. 4 in G minor, Op. 14) inspired by an anthology of Swedish folk tunes published in 1875.
For the Schubert centenary in 1928, the Columbia Gramophone Company sponsored a competition for a symphony completing or inspired by Schubert’s Unfinished, and Atterberg won the first prize of $10,000 with his Symphony No. 6. The symphony was recorded by Sir Thomas Beecham and Arturo Toscanini, and Atterberg also recorded it himself.
Atterberg died in Stockholm on 15 February 1974.

<JimBodkins@yahoo.com> writes: [Kurt Atterberg] was thought to have missed the turn to modern classical — unlike Stravinsky. Personally, I disagree. I hear in his music the voice of the Baltic. I wouldnt place him in the same category as Sibelius, but I would consider him at least similar.
Kurt Atterberg is one of Sweden´s most productive composers. He was also an engineer. For many years he was a newspaper music critic and occupied representative positions in musical organizations. His international fame is chiefly associated with two of his works: Symphony No. 6, which won the Schubert prize in 1928, and his Värmland Rhapsody, written for Selma Lagerlöf´s birthday.
