Sveinn Þórarinsson (1821-68), kept a diary from his youth until death. His diary entries that concern music are the leitmotif in the documentary Of Strings and Song, which traces the transformation in musical life in 19th century Iceland when new instruments, scales and songs where brought in from the continent.
