Editing Geirr Tveitt (section)

===Stylistic origins===
Geirr Tveitt's compositions are characterized by their [[Eclecticism|eclectic]] influences, drawing inspiration from a diverse range of musical styles and traditions. His works prominently feature the aggressive energy found in the early ballets of [[Igor Stravinsky]], as well as the distinctive rhythms and textures reminiscent of [[Béla Bartók]]. Additionally, Tveitt's music often incorporates the ethereal and mystic qualities of [[Claude Debussy]] and [[Maurice Ravel]], all the while rooted in motifs derived from Norwegian folk music. Unfortunately, a significant portion of Tveitt's oeuvre has not been published or systematically archived, a situation that was further exacerbated by a fire in 1970. In an effort to salvage his works, Tveitt undertook visits to various universities across Norway and reached out to friends in search of any surviving copies or parts of his compositions, although these efforts yielded limited results. Over time, however, several of Tveitt's scores have been rediscovered; some have been reconstructed from orchestral parts, as well as from radio broadcasts and magnetic tape recordings.<ref>[http://www.mic.no/nmi.nsf/doc/art2006053014524917609521 ''Tveitt, Geirr'' (ballade.no)]</ref>
