Adolf Fredrik Lindblad
Adolf Fredrik Lindblad (born February 1, 1801 in Skänninge , † August 23, 1878 in Linköping ) was a Swedish composer .
Life
Lindblad had been a student of Friedrich Haeffner at Uppsala University from 1823 and studied with Carl Friedrich Zelter in Berlin from 1826 to 1827 . In 1827 he founded a piano school in Stockholm , which he directed until 1862. Lindblad traveled to Germany several times , made friends with Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and met Carl Maria von Weber in Dresden .
He composed an opera ( Frondörerna - Die Rebellen), two symphonies , three violin sonatas and string quartets . His over two hundred songs were particularly successful, not least because they owed their popularity to the spread of the "Swedish nightingale", the singer Jenny Lind , and earned him the reputation of a Swedish Schubert . Lindblad's C major symphony from 1831 was performed by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy with the Gewandhausorchester in Leipzig and was published by Breitkopf & Härtel . The D major symphony premiered in 1855.
