Oskar Merikanto (5 August 1868 – 17 February 1924) was a Finnish musician and composer. He studied for some time at the Leipzig Conservatory in Germany, where his teachers were Carl Reinecke, Theodor Coccius, Robert Papperitz, Willy Rechenberg and Gustav Schreck. Merikanto was notable for his variety of talents – he gave concerts all around Finland, performing on the piano and organ, conducting orchestras, and composing original music. Some of his most beloved compositions are Där björkarna susa, the waltz Kesäilta and the Valse lente Op. 33. His son, Aarre Merikanto, was a noted Finnish composer.
