Frösöblomster for Flute and Piano
Edited by: Goran Marcusson

Flowers from Froso edited by flautist, Goran Marcusson. This beautiful set of six pieces comes from the original twenty-one “flowers” (Blomster) published in 1896 for the piano.
Composer’s Notes
“The Frösöflowers are the first of six of the original twenty-one “flowers” published in 1896 for piano. Frösön was the beloved home of the composer Wilhelm Peterson-Berger in the northern Swedish countryside where he escaped from the noise and congestion of Stockholm.
In the ‘Song of Summer’ we may imagine Peterson-Berger strolling across the summer fields on this lovely island.
We may also picture him devoting himself to his favourite sport on his own court in ‘Lawn Tennis’. Remember, this is a hundred years before today’s very hard-hitting and high-tempo tennis. Play this piece in a light and elegant way.
‘To the Roses’ is melodic and sweet as a summer rose, and should be played with a beautiful legato.
In the elegant ‘Congratulations’ we are invited to a dance with features of the gavotte and musette.
‘At Frösö Church’ captures the atmosphere and glorious view from the little church near the composer’s home.
‘Rentrée’ is Peterson-Berger’s testimony to his pleasure in returning to Frösön. This movement was originally the opening of the suite” – Göran Marcusson
