Have merged this new thread with the 'Scandinavian' thread. Not that Finland is really part of Scandinavia. I've offered before to split this thread up into its constituent parts but really it's not so busy that that is warranted. So apologies to Finns everywhere for lumping them in with their Scandinavian neighbours!

Further to the earlier postings I made by August Winding - his excellent set of Twenty-four Preludes.

Johan Gustav Emil Sjögren (1853 – 1918). Swedish composer. Born in Stockholm, Sjögren entered the Stockholm Conservatory at the age of seventeen and later continued his studies at the Berlin Conservatory. From 1890, he served as the organist at the Sankt Johannes kyrka in Stockholm until shortly before his death on 1 March 1918.

Sjögren is remembered best for his lieder and piano music. Other noteworthy works include three preludes and fugues for organ, five violin sonatas, as well as pieces for choir.

I have posted his two Piano Sonatas and Nine Sketches [thank you Mr P].
