Born 09 June 1865. Died 03 October 1931.
Carl August Nielsen (9 June 1865 – 3 October 1931) was a composer, conductor, and violinist from Denmark. His works have long been well known in Denmark and they have been "a mainstay throughout the Nordic countries and, to a lesser extent, in Britain," noted the critic Alex Ross in 2008 in The New Yorker, and rising young conductors such as Gustavo Dudamel and Alan Gilbert are now playing Nielsen's music in the United States.
Carl Nielsen is especially admired for his six symphonies and his concertos for violin, flute and clarinet.
Carl Nielsen appears on the Danish hundred-kroner note.
