Ludvig Schytte is remembered in music for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Ludvig Schytte as Danish composer (1848–1909).
Ludvig Schytte was born at Aarhus in 1848. His recorded nationality is Denmark.
This was the century of the virtuoso and the touring soloist, when a performer could become famous across a continent.
He worked as composer, pianist and music educator.
The instruments recorded are piano.
His work is classed as opera and symphony.
What survives in music is rarely what sold best at the time.
That the work came out of Denmark shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Ludvig Schytte died in 1909, aged 61. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
