Niels Viggo Bentzon, the Danish composer and pianist who was born in Copenhagen in 1919, belongs to a musical family which dates back, on his mother's side, to the early eighteenth century. His great-grandfather, Johan Ernst Hartmann, was one of the most prominent Danish composers of the nineteenth century; his cousin, Jorgen Bentzon (1897-1948), also played a leading part in Danish musical affairs Despite these links with the past, Niels Viggo Bentzon follows his own independent line, and is more indebted to Bartok and Hindemith than to earlier Danish composers such as Nielsen.
