About Christian Sinding

Christian August Sinding (11 January 1856 – 3 December 1941) was a Norwegian composer. He is best known for his lyrical work for piano Frühlingsrauschen (Rustle of Spring, 1896). He was often compared to Edvard Grieg and regarded as his successor. He was also a first cousin of journalist and writer Alfred Sinding-Larsen. As a consequence, Sinding's post-war reputation in Norway became relatively obscure.
