Carl Nielsen - Little Suite for Strings (Nonet),
Op.1

Movie Description from YouTube

Suite for String Orchestra (Nielsen) The Young Danish Chamber Orcestra. Gunnar Tagmose: Conductor. Carl Nielsen's Suite for Strings was one of the composer's earliest works and was first performed at the Tivoli Hall on 8 September 1888. Nielsen composed the Suite for Strings when he was only 22 and was still studying composition with Orla Rosenhoff, his former teacher at the Conservatory. It was first performed on 8 September 1888 at the Tivoli Hall in Copenhagen where the Tivoli Orchestra was conducted by Balduin Dahl, a recognised supporter of young talent. It was a great success. Nielsen, who played in the orchestra, was called back several times and the middle movement was played as an encore. Press reviews were mixed, but Avisen was very positive: "The young man obviously has a great deal on his musical mind that he wants to say, and what he told us on Saturday was presented in a beautiful, concise form, modestly and attractively, with excellent part-writing and an appealing fullness of sound that reveals an excellent eye for the string material." The work marked an important milestone in Nielsen's career as it was not only his first real success but it was also the first of his pieces he conducted himself when it was played in Odense a month later. In an interview with Pressens Magasin in 1918, Nielsen said that the movements had subtitles: "The Danaids", "The Dance of the Charites" and "The Bacchus Procession". The Suite for Strings was published by Wilhelm Hansen in 1990 with alterations by Nielsen, especially in the third movement. The Suite's rather short elegiac first movement is reminiscent of Scandinavian Romanticism as expressed by Grieg and Svendsen. The Intermezzo gives a hint of the composer's love of triple time: it's appealing waltz is peppered with the occasional flat seventh grace notes that would later become so characteristic of Nielsen's music. The comparatively expansive Finale opens solemnly with the elegy theme but soon breaks loose into an animated sonata form in which Nielsen demonstrates his mastery by cleverly reintroducing the opening theme.
