Biography

At the age of 17 Andersen debuted in the Universitetets Aula (1920). He appeared regularly with the broadcasting organization Norwegian Broadcasting's studios, often in duet with violinist Ernst Glaser and the Filharmonisk Selskaps string quartet, where he bore the nickname «Kalle cello». He also mace quite a few compositions in neoklassisk style, like his trio for cello, clarinet and flute (played by Alf Andersen (1928-1962) and Richard Kjelstrup), his contribution in the competition to the opening of Oslo rådhus, and Harlequin in twelve-tone technique for piano (1957). In 1952 he received the first prize from the Norwegian Society of Composers annual award.[2]

As music theory teacher, he taught Ørnulf Gulbransen, Leif Solberg, Kai Angel Næsteby, Kåre Fuglesang, Arne Novang and Stephan Barratt-Due, among others. The Philharmonic cello group was in the 1940s, '50s and '60s comprising six musicians, Andersen and Arne Melsom on the 1st desk, Sverre Krøvel and Hans Balchen on the 2nd desk, Arne Novang and Levi Hindar on the 3rd desk. Andersen was a frimurer and musical consultant for Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation from 1962.[3]

gollark: You can't use a claim as evidence for itself.
gollark: > About the latter half of the question, the inverse square root law would imply that the rules that generally put down magnetism are removed.What? No. It wouldn't imply that, because galactic orbits run on gravity and have nothing to do with electromagnetism.
gollark: Galaxy rotation just runs on regular gravity-driven orbits like, well, the solar system and whatnot, no? I don't know if your claim about the "inverse square root law" thing is accurate, but it doesn't seem to mean very much.
gollark: What do you mean "galaxies rotations are described using a inverse square root law" exactly?
gollark: Hmm, yes, I suppose stars count, so just "not important in large-scale interactions directly".
