Why this record matters
“Sången skall klinga” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Sången, skall and klinga provides the most credible route into that argument.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q10688404. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1979, 1980, 2008 and 1983.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
