The work has probably never been performed in its entirety, but individual songs are sometimes performed by the Par Bricole society.[2] It has been described as a curious hybrid, a combination of comic opera and mock-heroic verse, and as a not very satisfactory work, despite the "lovely" song[1] Böljan sig mindre rör (Still'd is the hasty wave).
