Erik Tulindberg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Erik Tulindberg (February 22, 1761—September 1, 1814) was a Finnish musician and composer, known for classical music. He studied at Turku and first worked as a civil servant at Oulu from 1784 on and later at Turku since 1809. He played the violin as well as the cello and was announced member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music in 1797. He is considered the first Finnish classicist. From his compositions only a violin concerto in b-flat major and six string quartets remain. His works are very much related to German composers Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. A copy of the string quartets by Haydn was found in his assets. His work was not rediscovered until 100 years after his death.
