1. Elegia / Elegy, 2. Wedding March / Haamarssi. Toivo Kuula composed some 15 work for piano. Perhaps the salient feature in his music is its elegiac quality. In the piano works this is reflected in the Elegy (Elegia) dating from 1908. The Wedding March (Haamarssi) from 1908 is a beautiful theme in a rather serious mood, reminding one that marriage is not a matter to be taken lightly.

Perhaps the salient feature in Kuula's music is its rather heavy pathos and elegiac quality. Now and then Kuula varied his usual Romantic idiom in an Impressionistic direction. Kuula's most unusual piece is the second of the Three Satukuvia (Fairytale Pictures) dating from 1912. This technically demanding piece combines capricious figures and passage work with shifting moods, with frequent alternation of whole-tone and minor scales, although the quiet middle section is more traditional.

Kuula wrote his two sonatas while still in his early twenties. The F Major Sonata is from 1906 and bears no opus number; the Sonata E Minor Op. 1 dates from 1907. This is the first edition of the F Major Sonata, which was forgotten for almost a century and found again in the 1990s.
