Notes:

Niels Wilhelm Gade (22nd February 1817 – 21st December 1890) was a Danish composer, conductor, violinist, organist and teacher. Together with Johan Peter Emilius Hartmann, he is considered the leading Danish musician of his era.

Gade was born in Copenhagen, the son of a joiner and instrument maker. He began his career as a violinist with the Royal Danish Orchestra, who also premiered his concert overture ‘Efterklange af Ossian’ (“Echoes of Ossian”) in 1841. When the performance of his first symphony had to be delayed in Copenhagen, it was sent to Felix Mendelssohn. Mendelssohn received the work so positively that he conducted it in Leipzig in March 1843, to great enthusiastic public reaction. In 1845 he returned the favour, conducting the premiere of Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E minor with famed Ferdinand David on violin. He also became friends with Robert Schumann and Robert Franz; Schumann wrote a long enthusiastic article describing Gade as an “exceptional young musician”. Indeed, one of Schumann’s piano pieces is entitled “Gade” and is based on the notes G-A-D-E (which also happens to be the letters of the open violin strings!), and Schumann’s third piano trio is also dedicated to Gade. Gade, ever happy, was to conduct the first performance of Schumann’s piano Concerto with Clara Schumann at the piano.

At Mendelssohn’s death in 1847, Gade was appointed to his position as chief conductor but was forced to return to Copenhagen in the spring of 1848 when a war broke out between Prussia and Denmark.

Gade then became the director of the Copenhagen Musical Society (Musikforeningen), a post he retained until his death. There he established a new orchestra and chorus, while settling into a career recognized as Denmark’s most prominent musician. He also found time to work as an organist, serving in the Holmen Church in Copenhagen from 1850 until his death.

Among Gade’s works are eight symphonies, a violin concerto, chamber music, organ and piano pieces and a number of large-scale cantatas, Comala (1846) and Elverskud (1853) among them, which he called “concert pieces” (koncertstykker). These creations embraced the Romantic nationalism and are, of course, sometimes based on Danish folklore.

On 27th April 1852 Gade married Emma Sophie Amalie Hartmann, the daughter of Johan Peter Emilius Hartmann. He dedicated his Spring Fantasy to her to celebrate their engagement and his 5th Symphony with piano concertante as a wedding gift. Sadly, in 1855, she died in childbirth while delivering twins. Niels Gade remarried in 1857 to Mathilde Stæger, herself an outstanding pianist.  This new marriage brought him two more children – a son, Axel Wilhelm Gade (1860-1921), who himself became a noted violinist, composer and conductor, and a daughter, Dagmar Gade (1863-1952). Niels Gade died in Copenhagen in the Christmas days of 1890.
