Work comment

This work has neither Opus number nor date. In view of its character being similar to the New Objectivity style, it may have been composed in the 1940s.
Its range reaches c4, whereas that of the standard organ does not go beyond g3, which shows that most likely, Atterberg was not very familiar with the prerequisites when composing for the organ.
