The title of the four-movement piano miniature suite, Quattro Elementi (2008), refers to the ancient Greek philosophers’ perception of the world as being structured upon four basic elements: earth, water, air and fire.
Quattro elementi connects to the tradition of small character pieces. It was composed as a sixtieth birthday present for Professor Eero Tarasti on 27 August 2008.
