“Joyride” was composed on behalf of the city of Landeck in Austria to embody the spirit of adventure, flourishing development, and a promising future. It not only describes economic progress but also the cultural richness of a modern city of the future. The composition opens with a majestic fanfare seamlessly transitioning into a cheerful allegro in 7/8 time signature. Following a section steadily gaining momentum, a tranquil middle passage ensues, immersing the piece in a contemplative mood. The reprise reintegrates the opening motifs in various forms. “Joyride” provides an opportunity for all instrumental groups to showcase their abilities in the composer's characteristic musical language.

Ilmari Hannikainen (1892-1955) was the most important Finnish pianist during the first decades of the 1900s. In his lifetime he also was one of the country's most famous composers. Hannikainen studied composition with Erkki Melartin, Franz Schreker and Maximilian Steinberg. His piano techers include Elli Rangman-Bjorlin and Alexander Siloti. Piano Sonata C minor Op. 1 was completed in 1912, and is one of the largest-scale romantic piano compositions in the Finnish piano repertoire. The work is a joyride of flowing national romanticsm filled with youthful energy. Some technical influence from Chopin and Liszt is evident, as is from master Sibelius, the major figure in Finnish music at the time. The Piano Sonata is published now for the first time - and directly as an Urtext edition. Pianist Dmus Risto-Matti Marin and music engraver Jani Kyllonen have studied all surviving manuscript sources, resulting in a worthy edition of this great work for piano.
