His first major compositional task, he received in 1858, when he, together with his childhood friend and later brother-in-law August Winding were entrusted to write the music for August Bournonville's ballet fjeldstuen. A year later departed Hartmann of place to Germany, and he continued to spread his musical activities between Germany and Denmark.
