Eivind Groven 1901 - 1977

"I realised there were three huge tasks to be done:
Firstly, preserving Norwegian folk music.
Secondly, I had a vague dream developed in the last chapter of Naturskalaen: to create an instrument that utilizes all scales and tuning systems. An instrument based on just intonation and irregular scales.
Lastly, the composing tasks are already mentioned."
