Composition: 1910.

The short piece for string orchestra, Ved en ung Kunstners Baare, was composed following the death of the painter Oluf Hartmann. He had died on Sunday, 16 January 1910, and already by the following Wednesday Nielsen end-dated the pencil draft. The composition was premiered at Hartmann's funeral and also played at Nielsen's own funeral service at the Copenhagen Cathedral on 9 October 1931.

Andante lamentoso
