Laila Barkefor's biography of Allan Pettersson. A detailed description of his life and music with photos by the photographer Gunnar Källström. 364 pages
Sweden's best-known modern composer created his music based on his own hard experiences, but also with the help of extensive training and familiarity with 20th-century art musical achievements.
Allan Pettersson, who to a blacksmith and grew up in a cramped apartment in the proletarian Söder, achieved great success in the cultural climate of the 1960s and 70s. A loyal international audience has kept his music alive. In Sweden, recent years have shown that he remains a modern classic.
This is a detailed description of Allan Pettersson's life and at the same time an analysis of his music made by Laila Barkefors, musicologist at the University of Gothenburg. Allan Pettersson's instrumental music has strong connections with the songs he wrote around the Second World War, especially his Barfotasånger, which Barkefors examines in his doctoral thesis and elaborates further in this book.
"We need to stare at the stars here, a sun burns within us," Allan Pettersson wrote in his notes. It reflects his intensely creative endeavor in life.
