@@towardthesea_ yes, he does indeed exist :) Sibelius is also ethnically Swedish. Atterberg is my personal favourite, of the Swedes, and that piano concerto by Adolf Wiklund is something else as well...
Yes, it is clearly a folk tune, and to me it sounds like Hårgalåten. Hårgalåten is a very well-known folk tune here. You can search youtube or google, there are lots of records, tell if you agree ("Hargalaten" is wrong but may work if you don't have å). Alfvén has modified it a little, but I think it is the same tune. (There may be similar folk tunes.) Hårgalåten is said to come from a place called Hårga in Hälsingland (and "låt" is "tune"), and it is also connected to a well-known story about the devil fooling some people to dance themselves to death by playing this tune :(.

I’m happy to listen music full of nordic spirit, like Grieg and Sibelius. Best regards from Finland!
And now we have Benny Andersson , and the old ones
We need more Alfven. Very colorful.
Sweden’s greatest composer in my book, simply overlooked.
Stiff competition with Atterberg...
@@towardthesea_ indeed. And Wiklund.
@@sonfx There are some others too - for example Stenhammar...

Musica deliciosa .Aire folklórico y natural.Muy linda. From Argentina Gracias

10:24 reminds me of a theme that comes up in the third movement of his Swedish Rhapsody No. 1. Perhaps they're derived from the same folk tune?
