Background
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. The second, in 1930, was Nummisuutarit (The Cobblers on the Heath), which received only poor reviews. In October 1930, shortly after the premiere of Nummisuutarit, he disappeared and is thought to have committed suicide. He was last seen alive in Tampere on 24 October.
