Notes:
Agathe Ursula Backer Grøndahl was a Norwegian pianist and composer. She composed in total some 400 pieces spanning seventy opus numbers. Her earlier compositions synthesized the predominant pianistic and stylistic ideas of 1850s Europe. In her later years however, her style transformed and anticipated some of the early twentieth century impressionistic ideas, which ultimately led the composer Pauline Hall to call her the first true Norwegian impressionist.
