  • Description

    Geijer was one of the prominent figures in the formation of Götiska förbundet (The Geatish Society), who took the task of promoting archaeology, but also Swedish patriotism. As editor of the society’s magazine, he published his own poems in the spirit of the time and also his music settings of these. Geijer showed early a great talent for music and studied at times with different teachers. Although he seems to have considered to attempt a career in music, it remained an activity for spare time. His mind was for chamber music a nd the smaller format, as well as songs. In 1816 the first piano trio was created and in 1822 the first two string quartets in F Minor and B flat Major, a nd during the rest of the decade, among other things, a piano quintet, a piano quartet and two violin Sonatas.
