Since the centennial of his death, appreciation for the music of the Danish composer Niels W. Gade (1817-1890) has been growing steadily in Europe and the United States. This in-depth study of Gade's life and music is the first in English, and describes the evolution of Gade's composition style and re-evaluates his supposed role as a nationalist composer.
