Alternative title: Eroticon, Cinq Compositions pour le Piano.From Levande Musikarv’s (Gunnar Ternhag, English translation: Martin Thomson): In his day, Emil Sjögren (1853–1918) was most familiar for his organ playing, mainly his improvisations on the instrument. He was associated with St Johannes Church in Stockholm, where he worked from 1891 to his death. But Sjögren was also a pianist, educator and not least composer. Sjögren studied at the Conservatory from 1869 to 1874, and later continued in Berlin, studying for Friedrich Kiel (composition) and Carl August Haupt (organ) from 1879 to 1880. Back in Stockholm, the city of his birth, he was the organist at the French Reformed Church from 1880 to 1884 and taught at Richard Andersson’s School of Music from 1886 to 1888. Regular sojourns in Paris with his wife Berta from 1901 on developed Sjögren as a composer, as the French capital was something of a European cultural center at the time. Sjögren’s work was performed there to an unusual extent for a Swedish composer.
Sjögren’s body of work mainly comprises organ music, solosongs, works for violin and piano and piano pieces; thus there are no large-scale works. Most performed are his solo songs, which are appreciated for their empathetic musical compositions of the selected texts. But his works for organ and for violin and piano also recur constantly in concert programmes.Allegro — Andante — Allegro — Andante — Presto (B-flat minor)
