  • Analysing the Brand-Building of Einojuhani Rautavaara from the 1950S to 2010S
    How to Build a Brand for a Composer: Analysing the Brand-building of Einojuhani Rautavaara from the 1950s to 2010s Joel Valkila Bachelor’s Thesis Degree Programme in International Business… 2020 Abstract 20 May, 2020 Author(s) Joel Valkila Degree programme International Business Report/thesis title Number of pages How to Build a Brand for a Composer: Analysing the Brand-build- and attachment ing of Einojuhani Rautavaara from the 1950s to 2010s pages 95 The aim of this study was to analyse the brand building of Einojuhani Rautavaara (1928– 2016), one of the most successful names in Finnish music exports of the last decades. The purpose is to collect a resource on how composers, publishers, record companies and other affiliates can support the personal branding and promotion of music artists and com- posers. For this qualitative study, Rautavaara’s own writings were used as primary data and com- bined with secondary data from archival and documentary research. Interviews with indi- viduals from the music industry were also conducted. This information enables us to see in detail the marketing efforts on Rautavaara’s music that intensified since the 1990s, and how they affected the composer’s brand. The analysis of the composer’s brand also in- cludes, besides various branding theories, the composer’s sonic and visual branding. This study can be a helpful resource for artists, composers, recording companies and pub- lishers in enabling them to identify features that can be of benefit in marketing and brand- ing efforts. Key findings of this study suggest that building a brand for an artist, such as a composer, is a long-term process that requires time and effort.

  • SERIE MUSIK DENKEN / MUSIC THINKING 17.1.2013 Jorge López
    SERIE MUSIK DENKEN / MUSIC THINKING 17.1.2013 Jorge López (Composer) IMPRESSIONISTIC NOTES ON PRESENTING PETTERSSON’S SIXTH AND ELEVENTH AT THE CONSERVATORY CITY OF VIENNA UNIVERSITY 17. January 2013: About 20 people showed up, including a lady from the Swedish Embassy in Vienna, whose financial support had made my work possible. The conservatory’s Professor Susana Zapke, who had organized the seminar, provided an introduction, while Dr. Peter Kislinger of the Vienna University, who has done some excellent radio programs for the Austrian Radio ORF on composers such as Pettersson, Eliasson, and Aho, kindly served on short notice as moderator. I kept the Pettersson biography short and simple. The arthritis was certainly crippling and real, but that Gudrun had money so that Allan could compose also seems to be real. Just reeling off the same highly emotional AP quotes about this and that is in my opinion, 33 years after Allan’s death, essentially counterproductive. What we have and what we should deal with is HIS MUSIC. He had studied not only in Stockholm with renowned Swedish composers but also in Paris with René Leibowitz, and through Leibowitz thoroughly absorbed the music of the Second Viennese School. And this often comes through—when I hear the beginning of AP’s FIFTH I sense in the four-pitch groups something subliminally reminiscent of Webern’s (weak and cramped) String Quartet Op. 28— here set free by Pettersson into experiential time and space. Ah yes, time and space. There is a concept or model or field or archetype for Scandinavian symphonic writing that I find to be fundamentally different from that of Central European thinking: one grounded not on consciously worked-out contrast and dialectic but rather on the intuitive experience of the symphony as JOURNEY through time and space.

The fact that many of these compositions are highly demanding works reveals that this new flowering of interest in ensem - bles of strings alone was not motivated primarily by educational goals. We can also dismiss the notion that a supposed reduction of instrumental forces reflected the economic circumstances of the period – as had been the case with the un ex - pected upsurge in string quartet composition after the First World War. This re - course to the string orchestra should rather be seen in the light of the broader creat ive welcome accorded by modern composers to the music of the early eigh - teenth century – their contributions often being labelled ‘neo-classical’ or ‘neo- baroque’.
