Gustaf Hägg: "Stämningar"/"Moods" Op. 17, "Drei Fantasiestücke"/"Three Fantasy Pieces" Op. 24 & "Sorgetoner"/"Tones of Grief"

Gustaf Hägg was a highly acclaimed organist and composer, who has a rich output in the genre of romantic character pieces for piano, much in the same spirit as the music of Schumann or Grieg. His music is often virtuosic and harmonically bold, exploiting the sonorities of the piano.
