Career<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gade began his career as a violinist in the Royal Danish Orchestra<\/a>. It was here that he premiered his concert overture Op. 1 – Efterklange af Ossian (Echos of Ossian)<\/em> in 1841. The work received good reviews and The Copenhagen Musical Society awarded him a prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, his first symphony in C minor, Op. 5 was rejected for performance in Copenhagen. He then sent it to Felix Mendelssohn who loved it. In 1843 Mendelssohn conducted the score in Leipzig where it received an enthusiastic reaction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Danish government fellowship then assisted Niels in his move to Leipzig where he worked at the Conservatory<\/a>. When Mendelssohn died in 1847 Gade replaced him as chief conductor. Unfortunately, due to the war in 1848, he had to return to Copenhagen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
