The Carl Nielsen Correspondence

The Carl Nielsen Correspondence is part of our cultural heritage – a unique source material for anyone interested in the composer's music and the music dominating the period from the 1880s to the 1930s. Carl Nielsen corresponded with everyone and anyone – with people from the rural social class he came from, with representatives from virtually all parts and strata of Danish society and from both Nordic and European cultural life. At the same time, the letters and diaries are an entertaining and sometimes dramatic account of Carl Nielsen's life and art.
