Work comment

As far as can be ascertained, this is the first instrumental piece Geijer composed after his two large works for piano written in England in 1810, which were influenced by his then instructor Pehr Frigel. Now, J.C.F. Hæffner has become a kind of mentor and with whom Geijer collaborated in the momentous collection "Svenska Folk-Wisor från Forntiden" (1814) [ref. Lennart Hedwall's commentary to Ahlborg's edition].
