Description

Concerto harks back to the slightly earlier chamber music work Murasaki in Casa Ando op. 72 [...]The work has two movements, Helix (Round) and Traktrix (Swerve), graphic descriptions as much as rhyming titles. Both movements are divided into five sections separated by orchestral interludes. The final orchestral section in each movement is more extensive and dramatic than the others.There is no pure conspicuous virtuoso element in the concerto, but there is plenty of concealed technical bravado. The composer collaborated with violinist Kaija Saarikettu, and the solo part was in fact completed long before the concerto was otherwise finalized.© Antti Häyrynen, 2000(Musica nova Helsinki)translated by © Jaakko Mäntyjärvi and © Susan SinisaloViulukonserton lyyrisen latauksen taustalta erottuu hieman aiemmin valmistuneen kamariteoksen Murasaki in Casa Ando op. 72 vaikutus. [...]Teoksessa on kaksi osaa, Kierros ja Kaarros, graafisia kuvauksia yhtä paljon kuin rimmaavia otsikoita. Kumpikin osa jakaantuu viiteen jaksoon, joita erottavat toisistaan orkesterin interludit. Kummankin osan viimeinen orkesteritaite on muita laajempi ja dramaattisempi. Sävellysprosessissa Heininen antoi myös kummankin osan eri jaksoille väliotsikot, jotka "kertovat totta sisällön jäsentymisestä, vaikka sananvalinta on tarua ja taivuttelu peliä".Konsertosta ei löydy puhdasta ja näkyvää taituriainesta, mutta vaikeammin erottuvaa virtuoosisuutta senkin edestä. Teknisissä kysymyksissä säveltäjä on tehnyt yhteistyötä viulisti Kaija Saariketun kanssa ja teoksen soolo-osa valmistui jo pitkään ennen kokonaisuuden viimeistelyä.© Antti Häyrynen, 2000(Musica nova Helsinki)
