June 2011. Elias Lönnrot, la vita e le opere.

June 2011

Elias Lönnrot nacque il 9 aprile 1802, a Sammatti nella regione di Uusimaa, nel sud della Finlandia. Una cittadina molto piccola e rurale, che ancora oggi conta non più di millecinquecento abitanti su un territorio di circa 85 Km2, per una densità di circa diciassette persone per Km2. Il comune di Sammatti è stato soppresso nel 2009, oggi è sotto la giurisdizione del comune di Lohja, una cittadina non molto distante.

Quando Elias Lönnrot nacque, la Finlandia era un granducato russo e rimarrà Granducato di Finlandia fino al 6 dicembre 1917 , “itsenäisyyspäivä” o giorno dell'Indipendenza, dopo lo scoppio della rivoluzione russa del febbraio '17. Ottavo figlio del sarto Frederik Juhana Lönnrot, fin da giovane dimostrò incredibili capacità, tanto che imparò a leggere a cinque anni. Purtroppo l'anno nel quale Lönnrot si iscrisse fu anche l'anno del grande incendio di Turku (4 settembre 1827), che distrusse quasi metà della città, compresa.

Traditionally the instrument holds a strong symbolic significance as a part of Finland’s national culture, and it has been given the status of national instrument. However, according to present knowledge, there are many different ethnic groups in the Baltic, Black Sea and Volga area, West Siberia and Russia that play kantele related psaltery instruments, zithers or plucked lyres. In each area the instrument has developed somewhat differently containing a variety of forms, and thus also the Finnish kantele has personal features that distinguish it from other related psalteries. Nowadays kantele seems to celebrate its new golden age in Finland: diverse historical layers with different playing techniques live side by side with the modern versions of the instrument.
