Ole Bull
Author: Einar Haugen
Publisher: Univ of Wisconsin Press
ISBN: 9780299132507
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
A child prodigy, Bull was admitted to the Bergen orchestra as first violin at the age of eight. He soon was idolized on both sides of the Atlantic for his superb improvisations and his ability to play the violin polyphonically. Though he was hailed as "the Paganini of the North," some critics labeled him a charlatan for his apparently magic tricks on the violin. Bull counted among his friends the great names of his era: Schumann and Lizst, Emerson and Wagner. Longfellow and Hans Christian Andersen modeled characters on him, and he was in part the inspiration for Ibsen's Peer Gynt. Although he spent most of his adult life abroad, Bull was a tireless promoter of Norwegian art and culture. His concert improvisations were rooted in his native slåtter (folkdance tunes), and he modified his own instrument using the Norwegian Hardanger fiddle as a model. By mid-century, Bull realized his dream of establishing a national theater in Bergen. He gave Henrik Ibsen a start in theater management, employed the poet Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, and promoted the music of Edvard Grieg. His attempt to establish a Norwegian colony, "Oleana," in the United States, however, failed through poor management. The words of the poet Aasmund Vinje, "That surely would be a man to write a book about," have been taken to heart by authors Einar Haugen and Camilla Cai. In addition to providing the first comprehensive listing of Bull's works (with full descriptions of all known sources), analyses of his compositions and their influences, and reviews of his performances, this biography gives life once again to a fascinating and flamboyant figure.

Book Description
During the 2020 Poulsbo Sons of Norway Library reorganization, this exquisitely illustrated book was discovered. Purchased in Nor- way sometime after 1930 and gifted to our lodge in 2002, it was determined to be too delicate for the general circulating library. After reviewing this book, the library committee was determined to make these charming illustrations available to a broader audi- ence. Our dream was to reprint the book, making copies available to people who donated to our Lodge Scholarship Fund. Thanks to the kind help of Tom Hovinbøle at the Porsgrunn Kommunes Kunstsamling, we were able to contact the Olaf Willums family. The family generously permitted us to reprint this beautifully il- lustrated edition of the Norwegian National Anthem.Tusen takk til Signy Willums, Dirik Willums, and Jan Olaf Willums. From Porsgrunn Norway, to Poulsbo WA, to you. We hope you enjoy this book as much as we do.
