Johan Emil Kauppi (28 October 1875 – disappeared 1930) was a Finnish composer. His teachers included Jean Sibelius.[1]
Background[]
Kauppi married a woman named Liina Lovisa Lindström in 1908.
He wrote two operas. The first, in 1925, was Päiväkummun pidot (The Feast at Solhaug), which was well received by critics.[2] The second, in 1930, was Nummisuutarit (The Cobblers on the Heath), which received only poor reviews.[3]
In October 1930, shortly after the premiere of Nummisuutarit, he disappeared and is thought to have committed suicide.[4] Kauppi was last seen alive in Tammerfors on 24 October.[5]
