A pupil of Lars Erik Larsson from the age of 15, the Swedish composer Bo Linde showed precocious talent as a composer and as a pianist, turning from the second to concentrate on the first. He taught the piano and composition in Stockholm and then in Gävle, and contributed a large number of articles on musical subjects as a critic.

Vocal and Instrumental Music
Bo Linde’s feeling for poetry is revealed in his many songs. His orchestral music includes concertos for violin and for cello, and a Pezzo concertante for bass clarinet.
