Tällaista kattavaa musiikkikentän kartoitusta tuolta ajalta ei ole aiemmin tehty. Olennainen tutkimuskysymys on sota-ajan aiheuttamien haasteiden kartoitus. Tutkimalla sotavuosien musiikkielämän ohjelmistopolitiikkaa ja vastaanottoa haetaan vastauksia siihen, miten sota-aika on heijastunut konserteissa ja niiden ohjelmistoissa ja miten merkitykselliseksi yleisö on elävän musiikkielämän kokenut. Tutkimuksen viitekehys on historiallinen. Aineisto on kerätty arkistotutkimuksen menetelmin ja useita eri lähteitä vertailemalla on pyritty mahdollisimman kattavaan kokonaisuuteen. Tutkittava

  • Reinterpreting the Concerto Three Finnish Clarinet Concertos Written For
    Reinterpreting the Concerto Three Finnish clarinet concertos written for Kari Kriikku Sapphire Clare Littler MA by Research University of York Music December 2018 Reinterpreting the Concerto: Three Finnish clarinet concertos written for Kari Kriikku Abstract The origins of the word concerto can be traced to two different sources: the first is the Italian translation, to mean ‘agreement’, and the other stems from the Latin concertare, which means ‘to compete’. Ironically, the duality presented by these two translations encapsulates the true meaning of the concerto: opposition and resolution. This thesis focuses on Finnish works for clarinet and orchestra composed for Kari Kriikku in the last forty years, and seeks to analyse three in depth: Jukka Tiensuu’s Puro (1989); Magnus Lindberg’s Clarinet Concerto (2002); and Kaija Saariaho’s D’OM LE VRAI SENS (2010). The works have been chosen as these composers were all born around a similar time in Finland, and all worked with the same clarinettist, whom they all know personally. Through analysis, Reinterpreting the Concerto seeks to discover how each of these composers tackled the pre- existing model of the concerto, and suggest reasons for compositional decisions. The thesis will end with a discussion of clarinet technique, and how much writing for Kriikku in particular may have influenced the works. This essay will be formed of several sections, with the first examining the traits which could be considered important to each of the pieces: form, and how this results in the linear progression of the work; continuity and discontinuity created through melodic treatment, and how the soloist interacts with the ensemble.

    PIANO, ORGAN, HARMONIUM: THREE INSTRUMENTS, THREE SONORITIES, ONE TECHNIQUE by Annikka Konttori-Gustafsson and Jan Lehtola Te works recorded on this album are rather rare, having been composed or transcribed for the unusual combination of piano and harmonium. Why should a composer opt to bring two very diferent keyboard instruments together as a duo? Te answer can be found by taking a closer look at the co-existence of piano, organ and harmonium. Te technique required to play each of them did not difer enormously in the Romantic era, and in the nineteenth century in particular students were taught to play the organ in the same way as they were the piano. Te reason may lie in the fact that many of the major composers of organ music of the time, such as Brahms, Franck, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Saint-Saëns and Schumann, were also frst-class pianists. Te piano infuenced not only organists’ technique but organ-building as a whole. Te works of these pianist- composers posed new challenges in the organ lof, and various aids were devised to make playing organs as efortless as playing the piano: the organ keys, for example, were enlarged until they soon resembled those of the piano. Te Romantic era also fostered interest in the harmonium; it was an inexpensive instrument and added variety to music-making in the home. Easy to carry about and capable of producing a range of timbres, it also enjoyed a career as a concert instrument that, though brief, was rich in repertoire. Many important composers wrote for it, among them Berlioz, Boëllmann, Dvořák, Franck, Karg-Elert, Vierne and Widor.

In the second half of the 20th century it seemed that composers wrote one definitive concerto for an instrument and then moved on, but if you look further back, composers like Bartók and Prokofiev were happy to return and come up with new solutions for the same instrument. I’m with them because I’m particularly drawn to the great instruments such as piano, violin and cello – I’m not interested in ending up having to write concertos for exotica such as theremin. I’ve also had healthy gaps between my concertos to allow thinking time: 20 years between my two piano concertos, 15 between those for cello, and about 10 years will separate the violin concertos.” Thus spoke Magnus Lindberg around the time of the premiere of his Second Violin Concerto in late 2015. He had gone through a quick replay, so to speak, of his earlier concerto cycle in the preceding years: his earlier concertos for piano (1994), cello (1999) and violin (2006) each gained a successor in fairly rapid succession with the Second Piano Concerto (2012), the Second Cello Concerto (2013) and the Second Violin Concerto (2015).
