It is certainly correct that Atterberg wrote interesting music in all
genres. Which of his Ballet Music has been released on SSD?

I am of another opinion: I think Moses Pergament deserves more attention,
but those I know of the others you list, I don't give a rotten fish for.

the Sweds) overshadow say Rangstroem or Hallen, I come with my fist raised!
