| Extra Information | According to his diary, Nielsen composed the song on 7 December 1929. The autograph pencil draft has the same dating. From a later letter, it is obvious that Nielsen and the author of the text, Alma Rogberg, were acquainted. Details to substantiate this, however, are missing. (Source: CNW link above.) Not obviously known to have been published in or around Nielsen's lifetime. (Worldcat, for example, produces the manuscript and the 2009 complete edition but nothing less recent.) |
