. Still his style continued developing over the years. Later compositions, such as the monumental A-Minor piano sonata or some Overtures (''Yrsa'') bear some similarities with Brahms. And there are pre-modernist accents in many of his latest pieces pointing notably to Carl Nielsen. His work had a strong influence on Scandinavian composers of later generations such as Edvard Grieg, Peter Erasmus Lange-Mueller or Carl Nielsen. His ever increasing originality gave him the nickname of being the «''old man'' ''prodigy''» («''Vidunderolding''»). Overall, his music displays great diversity, going from humour and poetry to drama and tragedy.
