Inspired by Greg Allen's post regarding Norway's non-violent resistant to Nazi occupation, I present a piano piece by Harald Sæverud titled "Ballad of revolt": MP3 (3:19, 2.3MB).

The story from the composer regarding the work:

I was not in a good mood, standing there freezing, getting more and more angry as I spotted the German barracks on the hillsides, disgustingly marring our lovely scenery. My parents had not taught me to swear, but I had to make some kind of exclamation... BAM BAM... Like a shot the theme for Ballad of Revolt came to me. And this was my shot during the war

The work, written in 1943 is dedicated to "small and large Resistance fighters", and it became a symbol for the Norwegian struggle during the war.

This performance is by Leif Ove Andsnes a beautiful and talented Norwegian pianist.
