Rudolf Tobias (May 29, 1873 Käina–29 October 1918 Berlin) was the first Estonian professional composer, as well as a professional organist. He studied at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory. His compositions include among others piano works, string quartets ([1]) and an oratorio, Des Jona Sendung (Jonah's Mission) (1908, revised and premiered 1909, later reconstructed by Vardo Rumessen).
The Tobias String Quartet is named after this composer.
