#3 from 'Nordic Sketches', Op.7 (1913)

The long-lived Norwegian pianist, composer and music critic,  Trygve Torjussen (1885-1977) studied in Oslo, Stuttgart and Rome.  In the UK he was marketed as a successor to Grieg, but he does not seem to have achieved enduring popularity here.  I am not sure of the Norwegian titles of the pieces in this set, so I don't know if the English title refers to the season of Spring, or a water source.  I should imagine the former, from the energetic piano writing of this piece.
