Erik Tulindberg

The earliest notable Classical Finnish composer was Erik Tulindberg (1761– 1814). He studied at the Academy of Turku from 1776 but moved to Oulu (Uleåborg) in 1784 to take up a post as a civil servant. He moved back to Turku in 1809 and remained there for the rest of his life. Tulindberg’s limited output was probably written during his early years in Turku amidst his studies, the lively social life of a student and his work as an amanuensis in the library. His output consists of a Violin Concerto in B flat major, six String Quartets and one solo violin work.

Tulindberg played the violin himself, and the solo part of his Violin Concerto is written in quite a natural idiom. In conception, however, it is simpler than his String Quartets and thus probably earlier. The String Quartets are written in a full-fledged Viennese Classical style, closely related to Haydn’s quartets. In fact, Tulindberg is known to have bought a copy of Haydn’s Quartets op. 9 (1769–70) in 1781; these may have served as a model. At his best, Tulindberg demonstrates original structural ideas and a fresh melodic vein; by contrast, his harmonies and quartet textures are quite simple.

Kuudennen kerroksen orkesteri on ainakin levyttänyt Tulindbergin kappaleita, mm. Tulindbergin tiettävästi ainoan viulukonserton! Kannattaa kuunnella!
