Act
A violin concerto in B flat major and six string quartets , most likely from his student days before 1784, have survived as compositions . His works were only rediscovered in the university library over a hundred years after his death. Musically, Tulindberg's violin concerto is based on the young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart , Joseph Haydn and the Mannheim School ; Haydn's influence is particularly evident in the string quartets, whose string quartets Op. 9 were found in Tulindberg's own collection of music.
Tulindsberg's violin concerto was recorded for the first time in 1946, and it was recorded again in 2001 with the baroque violinist Kreeta-Maria Kentala and the baroque ensemble Sixth Floor Orchestra .
