Composing landscapes: musical memories from nineteenth-century Norwegian mountain-scapes

Landscape History, 2013, vol. 34, issue 2, 43-60

Abstract: Throughout the nineteenth century, the Norwegian mountain-scape gradually grew in popularity as a destination for foreign and domestic touristic discovery, while simultaneously acquiring a status as object(s) of artistic value and national significance. This article explores how musical responses (here by Franz Berwald, Edvard Grieg and Julius R�ntgen) to this mountain-scape can be understood to both feed off and into the ideological rhetoric around the mountain-scape by creating various 'reminiscences' which are conditioned by distance and (actual or imagined) memorisation, and narrated through a nostalgic construction of idealised longing.
