at Tivoli Hall | scoring = string orchestra }} Carl Nielsen's ''Suite for String Orchestra'' was one of the composer's earliest works and was first performed at the Tivoli Hall on 8 September 1888. ==Background== Nielsen composed the ''Suite for String Orchestra'' when he was only 22 and was still studying composition with Orla Rosenhoff, his former teacher at the Conservatory. It was first performed on 8 September 1888 at the Tivoli Hall in Copenhagen where the Tivoli Orchestra was conducted by Balduin Dahl, a recognised supporter of young talent. It was a great success. Nielsen, who played in the orchestra, was called back several times and the middle movement was played as an encore. Press reviews were mixed, but ''Avisen'' was very positive: "The young man obviously has a great deal on his musical mind that he wants to say, and what he told us on Saturday was presented in a beautiful, concise form, modestly and attractively, with excellent part-writing and an appealing fullness of sound that reveals an excellent eye for the string material." The work marked an important milestone in Nielsen's career as it was not only his first real success but it was also the first of his pieces he conducted himself when it was played in Odense a month later.〔 ("Preface: Suite for String Orchestra, Opus 1" ), Carl Nielsen Udgaven CN 00009, Royal Danish Library.
