    Born into a family of instrument manufacturers, he became familiar with the violin in his childhood. He began his career as a musician as a violinist for the Danish Royal Court. Through his association with Mendelssohn, he advanced to become a teacher at the Leipzig Conservatory, where he also became close with Schumann. After returning to Denmark, he was appointed conductor of the Copenhagen Music Society from 1850, and from 1866, he taught as director at the conservatory in the same city. As a musician and educator, he held authority and made significant contributions to the modernization of the Nordic music scene. He also influenced Grieg and Nielsen. His works, while influenced by German Romanticism, were strongly nationalistic, and he is positioned as a progenitor of the so-called National Romantic school in Scandinavian countries. In Japan, his name is sometimes transliterated as "Gade" or "Garze."
