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.”Vangittu kirkonvaras”. Tampereen Uutiset. The second, in 1930, was Nummisuutarit (The Cobblers on the Heath), which received only poor reviews.Härmä, Hanna-Maija (1979). Emil Kauppi: Säveltäjä ja musiikkimies.
