Kanto (2001) is a short, meditative solo piece for cello (or Baroque cello), instructed by the composer as follows: “Don’t try to grow the piece to “epic proportions” and be considerate with the use of vibrato. Kanto is not a showcase for heroic, battling romantic cellism. It is withdrawn, intime music and should be taken as such.” (O.V. May 2014)
for cello (or Baroque cello)
”Kanto (2001) on lyhyt, meditatiivinen sooloteos sellolle (vaihtoehtoisesti barokkisellolle). Kanto on sisäänpäinkääntyvää ja keskittynyttä musiikkia, jossa ei ole sijaa suureelliselle romantiikan hengen sankar’sellismille. Teosta ei pidä yrittää kasvattaa eeppisiin mittoihin. Vibraatonkäytössä kehoitan maltillisuuteen.” (O.V. 10/2014)
