Kulau. Sonatina, Op. 55, No. 1
In Copenhagen, he wrote the music for the drama Ruvenbergen, which was a brilliant success. He included many national Danish songs in it and strove for local flavor, for which he was nicknamed the “Danish” composer, although he was German by birth. He also wrote operas: “Elisa”, “Lulu”, “Hugo od Adelheid”, “Elveroe”. He wrote for flute, piano and singing: quintets, concertos, fantasies, rondos, sonatas.
