1828-1884 Hartmann has the style of early romantics. It has been said of him, "What composer in Scandinavia with genuine feeling for the spirit of Scandinavia does not remember today what he owes to Hartmann! The best, the most profound thoughts that a whole posterity of more or less consequential spirits has lived on have been first expressed by him, have been made to resound in us by him." (Oxford music online). He enjoys the use of imitation.
