Bergen Public Library Norway said:
Yes, he was a writer, and he was also a friend of Ole Bull. He wrote a biographical short story in 1839 about Bull called "An episode in Ole Bulls life".

I love his fairy tales (z.B. "Die kleine Meerjungfrau", "Der standhafte Zinnsoldat", "Die Prinzessin auf der Erbse" ...). Thanks for sharing.

This is a portrait of the Swedish composer Wilhelm Stenhammar [1871-1927]. One of Sweden's greatest composers! Stenhammar composed his wonderful 6 String Quartets, 2 Symphonies, 2 Piano Concertos (of which No.1 of 1893 was part of the 'core repertoire' about 100 years ago, and performed in Berlin [1913] under one of the greatest conductors, Arthur Nikisch and the Berlin Philharmonic!)
