PROVOCATIVE THOUGHTS: 
The late Patric Standford may have written these short pieces deliberately to provoke our feedback. If so, his success is reflected in the rich range of readers' comments appearing at the foot of most of the pages.
Kurt Atterberg
Born 12 December 1887 in Gothenburg, Sweden, was Kurt Atterberg, a composer, writer and critic. His pen was busy in both aspects of the music profession. With six operas and nine symphonies, he also won a 2,000 pound prize for the last of his symphonies in the centenary year of Schubert's death in 1928. Atterberg died on 15 February 1974 in Stockholm.
