Lars-Erik Larsson (1908-1986) early became one of our most noted Swedish "classical" composers. Works such as "Pastoral suite" and "Präklädd gud" are still performed and recorded time and time again.

In connection with the centenary of Larsson's birth, a comprehensive biography of his life and work is published in Atlantis and Kungl. The Academy of Music's series "Swedish composers". The author Carlhåkan Larsén, who has long been active as a music writer, portrays the enthusiastic youngster from Scania, the successful composer talent of the 1930s, the popular-educating radioman of the 1940s, the strict pedagogue and the learned master, who coined the slogan "I wanted to abolish the law of gravity" to describe his endeavor for clarity and comprehensibility. A full and partially new picture of the popular composer appears in the well-illustrated volume.
