hi i'm @kjasdfads alt 1. Frédéric Chopin lol 2. finnish classical music (composers), Finnish and estonian folk music, latvian folk dance 3. idk if i could put a classical music ensemble because that isn't really a band so Stockhomas Spēlmaņi 4. idk Arttu Suuntala?? Pauli Räsänen?? 5. idk 7. i haven't watched that many movies maybe En Dag i Oktober or Armastuse Valem 8. Tõnis Niinemets because he's the irl version of hetalia estonia lol 9. Frédéric Chopin if he counts (he's dead though) 10. Yes definitely 11. Either/Or by Søren Kierkegaard 12. Legend Eluajal because Tõnis Niinemets is in it (I like the character he plays) 13. Hetalia Estonia probably 14. Hetalia Estonia's singing voice 15. Classical music fandom (if you call it that) ships Chopin and Liszt and basically if i dare say fetishizes their relationship and then claim it was historically accurate which is kind of disgusting 16. No unless it was Hetalia Estonia /sarcasm 17. Everyone I liked was either non-existent or dead 18. No but I would love to meet Elise Båtnes :O 19. No 20. Finnish composer lore incoming: Uuno Klami was friends with Arvo Hannikainen, who was the brother of Ilmari and Väinö Hannikainen. Ilmari Hannikainen was colleagues with Väinö Raitio and Aarre Merikanto. Väinö Raitio and Aarre Merikanto were part of the Finnish modernist trio that was excluded from most circles, the third member being Ernest Pingoud. Aarre Merikanto was the son of Oskar Merikanto. Oskar Merikanto, Jean Sibelius and Armas Järnefelt were musical peers (I believe). Armas Järnefelt was Jean Sibelius's brother-in-law. Toivo Kuula was one of Jean Sibelius's students. Toivo Kuula was friends with Leevi Madetoja. Leevi Madetoja was part of the same school as Selim Palmgren and Erkki Melartin. Erkki Melartin taught Heino Kaski. THEREFORE, many of the Finnish late-romantic/early-modernist composers theoretically knew each other which makes sense in a time where Finland had a growing sense of nationality, and was sort of separate from the musical capitals of Austria, France, Germany and Italy
