Mielialoja
Description
Three bagatelles about changing moods: Restless, Hopeless and Jolly. These pieces were ordered by saxophonist Olli-Pekka Tuomisalo with a wish that the composer keep to traditional techniques. The wish was (for most part) fulfilled, and the pieces have been played besides Tuomisalo, also clarinettists and flutists.
