Endangered

by Minna Leinonen

Uhanalainen

for violin and piano

Description

Endangered was composed as a mandatory semi-final piece of the Ilmari Hannikainen Piano Chamber Music Competition international series. One of the starting points of the composition was Hannikainen´s Sick Bird op. 14 no 10 for violin and piano, whose vulnerable, bird-like motif and the subsequent downward gesture are brought to this day. In addition, the work uses numerous sounds of birds classified as critically endangered in Finland.
