Ernst Linko (1889 - 1960)

Ernst Linko (1889–1960) studied in St Petersburg and Germany, devoting himself to composition only as a form of distraction from his concert activity. He was in fact a pianist and piano teacher at the Sibelius Academy, and composed four piano concertos. A final year of study in Paris between 1924 and 1925 resulted in 3 Danze moderne, composed and published in Helsinki in 1926.
