Sigfrid Karg-Elert

on: May 14, 2005, 05:27:57 PM

Lately I discovered a composer I've never heard of before: Sigfrid Karg-Elert (1877-1933). I really like his composition-style, maybe something like a nordish Schumann - although he wasn't from scandinavia, but from Germany (I believe).

Has anyone of you ever heard of him, listened to a composition or maybe even played one? I'd really like to add some of his piano pieces to my repertoire (like the Dekameron op. 69).
