Uuno Klami (1900-1961) became one of the leading Finnish Modernists during the 1920s. His main genre was orchestral music, and he experimented widely with his orchestration, combining national themes with international trends. His studies took him to Paris and Vienna, and Parisian influences are particularly marked in his musical language. He admired the orchestral sound of Ravel and was also influenced by Stravinsky. His sonata in B flat minor for viola and piano was composed in 1920. Forgotten for long time, in 2016 the violist Eero Kesti took the demanding task of editing the very challenging manuscript full of unclear corrections. The sonata has impressionistic and romantic features and is surprisingly mature and original, considering the young age of the composer. The sonata is in three movements, and the duration is c. 21 minutes.

Racconto (Tale)/ Capri/ Cielo sereno (Clear sky)/ Tano/ Napolitango/ Luci della spiaggia (Beach lights)/ Fantasia mediterranea (Mediterranean fantasy)/ Una lacrima ridente (A smiling tear)/ Quartieri spagnoli/ Marcia dei pomodori (March of the tomatos)Being interested in certain aspects of popular music, I became aware of several similarities between popular Neapolitan melodies and the Argentinean tango. Napolitango is based on an imaginary journey to Naples and Buenos Aires. In retaining certain characteristics of the original music, Napolitango embodies an inspiration and an almost theatrically passionate character which is common to these two genres.The piece has been composed for the Parisian Festival Paris Banlieues Tango 2001.(S. Di Stefano).

The three piano sonatas by Joachim Raff (1822-1882), representing his three main creative phases, occupy a special position among his more than 100 piano pieces. They reflect a significant compositional aspiration whereas Raff otherwise frequently leans towards the salon-music genre in his piano music. Raff composed the early sonata op. 14 in 1844 after his first works were positively evaluated and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy had encouraged him to venture a career as a composer. The Fantasie-Sonate [Fantasy Sonata] in d minor op. 168, Raff wrote in 1871 at the height of his fame as one of Germany's then most-played composers. Its dedication to Camille Saint-Saens shows his opposition to the rampant German disapproval of France and its music representatives in the wake of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870/71. The second version of the sonata op. 14, composed in the fall of 1881, had only the opus number in common with the earlier version. In this late work Raff had created an entirely new sonata. ,,Beautifully presented on cream paper, with exceptional clarity and generous spacing. The Fantasie-Sonate in D minor Op. 168, in particular, is a masterpiece which manifests both considerable power and exquisite craftsmanship. (www.pianodao.com).

Sonate B-dur: Es gibt nur wenige Werke fur Solovioline aus der Mozart-Zeit; das macht diese Erstveroffentlichung interessant. Die grosse Zeit der Violinvirtuosen Walther, Biber, Westhoff, Pisendel und anderer hatte mit Johann Sebastin Bachs Solosonaten und -partiten einen Abschluss gefunden. Aus der vorklassischen Periode kennen wir ausser vielen Unterrichtswerken fur Violine nur wenige konzertante Kompositionen fur eine Violine allein. Dazu zahlen insbesondere die Sonaten von Friedrich Wilhelm Rust und Johann Friedrich Reichardt, beide aus dem Umkreis Franz Bendas, die aber deutlich an barocke Vorbilder anknupfen. - Die hier vorgelegte Sonate in B-Dur von Pesch ist ein in beiden Satzen fast durchgangig zweistimmiges Stuck. Die Tonart B-Dur mag zunachst etwas befremden, ist aber nicht ungewohnlich, denn auch Solowerke von Westhoff und Rust stehen in dieser Tonart; sie erweist sich als durchaus geigerisch und klangvoll in diesem ungewohnlichen Werk. Die in vielen Veroffentlichungen wiedergegebenen Lebensdaten von Pesch, die aus unbekannter Quelle stammen und immer wieder benutzt wurden, sind durchweg falsch. Aus der Eintragung im Kirchenbuch der Gemeinde St. Blasius in Braunschweig ist der 27. Februar 1791 als Sterbedatum eindeutig festgestellt. Die Braunschweigische Anzeigen schreiben Am 27sten Februar ... verstarb ... Herr Carl August Pesch im 57ten Jahr seines Alters. Im 57ten Jahr bedeutet, dass er 56 Jahre alt wurde, also 1735 geboren ist. Uber seine Herkunft ist bisher wenig bekannt: Nach 1760: Eintritt in den herzoglichen Dienst in Braunschweig; 1763: Leopold Mozart erwahnt Pesch unter den Personen, die er im Gasthof Goldener Lowe in Frankfurt/Main getroffen hat; 1765: Reise mit dem Herzog nach London, dort Veroffentlichung einiger Werke; 1766/1767: Reise mit dem Herzog nach Italien; 1776 Konzerte in Frankfurt/Main.

The title may be read as an indication of the key and genre, on the one hand, but also as an allusion to a slightly depressive mood, on the other hand. Mozart's Piano Sonata in A minor which may have been created in the Parisian street mentioned in the subtitle virtually serves as background for this little, yet somewhat tricky piano piece. There are no direct quotations, but the dissonant chord from bar 2 of the sonata in A minor hovers in the background. Mosaic-like, slightly dabbed sound elements are regularly interrupted by brief, strong beats. Ambitious performers who want to explore new playing techniques will enjoy this piece as much as the audience.
