We cannot be entirely sure that Svendsen composed this melody. The reference to Svendsen is only found in a single source, a copy by Henrik Christian Albrechtson (1827–1911), and the composer’s name is here merely identified as ‘Svendsen’. The bookl includes six melodies to the text ‘Min Skat’ (My Treasure), a three-verse poem written by the Danish poet Christian Winther (1796–1876) and first published in a collection of poetry from 1840, Sang og Sagn.57 Presumably, Albrechtson found six different melodies to this popular text and included them in his collection, with two melodies for each stanza.

Allegretto
