Valborg Aulin

Laura Valborg Aulin (9 January 1860 – 13 March 1928) was a Swedish pianist and composer. Aulin’s String Quartet in E minor, Op. 17 and String Quartet in F minor are the most important Swedish music compositions in that genre from the 1880s. Her mother, Edla Aulin had hoped for a career as a singer, but bad health had stopped her career. Aulin’s father was a classics scholar, holding a doctorate in Greek, on the poet Callimachus. He also held a position at a Stockholm secondary school, where he taught classical languages. As a teacher, she supplemented her income by teaching piano, counterpoint, composition and harmony.
