Description:
Harri Wessman's Concertino for trumpet and string orchestra Peilejä (Mirrors) was premiered by its dedicatée Sanna Haarla and Juvenalia Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Rainer Palas, in Espoo (Finland) October 28, 1997. Suitable for student / pupil orchestra, the concertino follows fully Wessman's principle: "I don't write children's music. Stylistically I write in the same way as for professionals; technically, the pieces just have to be easier to play. Most difficult of all is writing for children who are complete beginners. The pieces need to be rich in expression, and in order to achieve this, you have to make full use of everything that's idiomatic in the instrument. You also have to include elements that are natural to the present day and age: timbres, special effects that are easy to produce, and so on. Not just for the sake of it, however, but to reinforce the musical message." Duration: 17' Movements: I Moderato II Andante III Adagio - Molto allegro This product includes the solo part written in Bb and C and the piano reduction.
