#SymSat Anton Edvard Pratte was a Swedish harpist & composer who does NOT!!! have a Wikipedia page.

The best source of info on him is from the Swedish Musical Heritage site: https://www.swedishmusicalheritage.com/composers/pratte-edvard/

This portrait however, is from the Pratte Society, of which our soloist tonight is the musical director

@otheorange_tag @MatthewTitus88 You are BOTH *NOT WRONG* 😆 #SymSat 😂 Pratté was voted into the Kungliga Musikaliska akademien (Royal Swedish Academy of Music) in 1850 when he was in his early 50s, and lived in sin with his lady friend till the ripe old age of 78 😁 (1796-1875, thus disqualifying him from #BaroqueSun)

@SesameSquirrel @otheorange_tag Good for him. I haven't really even thought of 'sinning' since I turned 50. #SymSat
