This work was commissioned by Rudolf Steiner Foundation. It is dedicated to Anssi Karttunen who gave the first performance in Helsinki on 10th September 2000.Sept papillons was the first piece Saariaho wrote after her operaL'Amour de loin and it was partly written during the rehearsals of the opera in Salzburg. One can sense the desire to find a new world which has nothing to do with the opera neither in style nor in language. From the metaphors ofthe opera which all have an eternal quality - love yearning and death - she moved now to a metaphor of the ephemeral: butterfly. Also from the long time-spans of the opera she moved to these seven miniatures which each seem tobe studies on a different aspect of fragile and ephemeral movement that has no beginning nor end.

Schumann Brahms-The studies presented in this volume are more than just a work of reference and information. Besides their primary use as difficult extracts of music by Schumann and Brahms this book features some wonderful Cello cantilenas.

Most compendiums of studies and exercises suffer the same fate as the infamous home-trainers: one sets out full of good intentions but after a few weeks of blood sweat and tears they are left to gather dust in a corner. Why? Any athlete prefers a proper cross-country run to a stint on the treadmill. If there is variety and a chance to make decisions all the senses become involved. May this set of studies be spared the fate of the exercise-machine; rather they should serve as the equivalent of a cross-country run with people feeling liberated ‘with-it’ and keen to set and achieve their own targets.

This was written in 1980. Dedicated to and edited by Julian Lloyd Webber who also gave the first performance of them in Portsmouth in 1980.

This progressive scale system coordinates basic concepts from elementary to advanced scales in preparation for the Scale System by Carl Flesch. In some aspects it goes beyond the scope of the Flesch system. One-octave scales areintroduced in patterns with emphasis on half steps and finger retention. The two-octave scale patterns are non-shifting. Three-octave scales are offered with traditional and modern fingerings. The double stop scales vary infingerings in order to teach the basic concepts of double-stops. Harmonics are included beyond the scope of the Flesch system in a basic form including natural harmonics.
