Around the turn of the century in 1800, it was Christmas baking in the artist Pehr Hörberg´s home. Pehr would watch the bread while his wife was away. The bread was burnt and his wife became furious. Pehr decided to spend Christmas with the Baron De Geer in Finspong instead. The music, polska, below was written by Horberg on his journey to the Baron.
The polska is recorded by the museum and published under cc0 pd. Katarina Ingberg plays the violin.
