Symphonic work in three movements by Lars-Erik Larsson
The Sinfonietta in C major , Op . 10, is a three-movement composition for string orchestra written in 1932 by the Swedish composer Lars-Erik Larsson . The piece premiered in Gothenburg on 14 December 1932 with Tor Mann conducting the Gothenburg Orchestral Society . A few years later, on 5 April 1934 at the International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM) World Music Days in Florence , Hermann Scherchen conducted the Sinfonietta to considerable acclaim, scoring for Larsson the first international success of his career. In response, Universal Edition in Vienna signed a contract with the composer and published a number of his early works, among them the Sinfonietta, the Little Serenade (Liten serenad ; Op. 12, 1934), and the Concert Overture No. 2 (Konsertouverture Nr. 2 ; Op. 13, 1934).
