WPB was the man who introduced the Tennis sport in Scandinavia in the late 1870..

He also built the first tennis-court on Frøsø Island in Sweden. Always loved his piano-pieces, very romantic and touching tunes.

haha I didn't know that, only that he made a piece called "Lawn Tennis". It's funny coz I read about him that he didn't like modernities, perhaps only in music then

[xAmandine]

@termometen Detta du säger nu gäller praktiskt taget hela världen, inte bara Sverige. Sverige kanske inte är världens bästa land längre med all skatt, men det är ett trevligt land att bo i alla fall...

Väldigt bra musik men känns inte frösöblomster lite som en sämre version av Griegs lyriska pianostycken?

[termometen]

I hate today's Sweden... I wish that things could be more like in the good old days :'(

[BarbarafromGermany]

-Yeah, I like it! For my inner child! Thnx a lot....

The best interpretation to be found on youtube.

Underbara Sommarsång, som jag hörde första gången som barn och aldrig kunde glömma. Tack P-B för all fantastisk musik du skapade! Jag är bara så arg över att P-B aldrig fått det erkännande i Sverige han borde ha haft. Sveriges mest underskattade tonsättare!!
