Brustad was always alert to trends and happenings in the musical world at large, and he was one of the first Norwegian to embrace impressionism. In the 1930s he was to some extent taken up with Norwegian folklore and neo-classisism. Eventyrsuite of 1932 is his most famous work from this period. Around 1950 he radicalised his tone language, stopping short, however, of becoming an atonalist. Since the mid-1960s he tended to forsake such experimentation, and his latest compositions are all endowed simply with musicality; they are, he said, "music for ordinary people". Impressionism was a 19th century art movement that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists who began publicly exhibiting their art in the 1860s. ...
