Otto Olsson

About

Otto Olsson (19 December 1879 – 1 September 1964) was a Swedish composer of classical music. Otto Olsson was one of the greatest organ virtuosos of his time. After studying organ at the Stockholm Conservatory, he joined the staff as a professor of harmony and organ. His strong background in counterpoint combined with an affinity for French organ music to create his late Romantic style of composition. He also had an interest in earlier music and used the plainchant techniques of Gregorian chant in his Gregorianska melodier.
