“We need to see Scandinavian music as important in its own right, to assess it, and to relate it to other repertories. Clearly our first step must be to make it widely available for performance and to begin that long process of systematic study that will eventually lead to understanding.” — Richard Rastall, “Foreword,” pp. iv-v.
