Wilhelm Stenhammar (February 7, 1871 – November 20, 1927) was a Swedish composer, conductor and pianist. He received his first musical education in Stockholm, then went to Berlin to further his studies. Initially an admirer of German music, particularly that of Wagner and Bruckner, Stenhammar subsequently sought to write in a more "Nordic" style, looking to Nielsen and Sibelius for guidance. His works were quite varied and among them included 2 completed symphonies, a Serenade for Orchestra and two piano concertos. Stenhammar was also considered the finest Swedish pianist of his time.
