Sjogren (1853-1918) was a Sweedish composer whose works particularly
his songs have held a spot in the repertory of his native country but
not abroad.  His early studies were in Stockholm, though he spent 1879-80
studying in Berlin with Kiel.  He was an organist of some note.  His music
was widely admired by his professional contemporaries, including Wilhelm
Peterson-Berger, Stenhammar, and Tor Aulin.  His eight sonatas, five for
violin, one for cello, and two for piano, are his main instrumental works.
Two of his violin sonatas are available on the Bis and Swedish Society
labels.
