Episode, Carnival in Paris. ..Svendsen
Svendsen, born at Oslo (then Christiania) in 1840, began his musical career as a violinist, but after having partially lost the use of his hands, he devoted his life to composition and conducting. As a composer Svendsen possessed a pleasing melodic vein and displayed a craftsmanship of no mean order. In his gay and brilliant ' Carnival in Paris' we find conciseness of expression, vitality, and an artistic feeling for orchestral colour.
