Gunnar Berg (composer)

Gunnar Berg (composer)

Gunnar Berg (1909–1989) was a Swiss-born Danish composer, and perhaps the leading exponent of serialism in Denmark.

Berg was born to Danish and Swedish parents in Switzerland. He studied with Hermann Koppel from 1938 to 1942, and moved to Paris in 1948, where he became associated with Honegger and Messiaen. In 1952 he married the pianist Béatrice Duffour, who would later record much of his piano music. In the same year he became the first Dane to attend the summer courses at Darmstadt.

Berg is considered to have written the first Danish serial piece, a "Suite" for cello, in 1950.
