Pianokvartetto
by Harri Wessman
Description
Pianokvartetto on uunituore kappale, jonka Suomen Kuvalehti tilasi Kuhmon kamarimusiikkijuhlille, missä se kantaesitettiin nyt heinäkuussa. [...] Osien nimet viittaavat psykologiseen tapahtumaketjuun intohimoisesta osallistumisesta nostalgisuuteen, alistuneisuuteen ja absurdin kokemukseen, mikä tässä ei kuitenkaan ole muuta kuin musiikillisen muodon ajateltu runko, ohjelma, jota oli jännittävä toteuttaa sävellyksellisesti, vaikka todellisuudessa en usko moisen kehityskulun vääjäämättömyyteen. Ei ole niin, että todellisuus löytyisi illuusioiden romahtamisen myötä, päinvastoin. Ja Kuhmossa kävikin niin, että finaali koettiin pikemmin elinvoiman symboliksi kuin absurdin kokemuksen musiikilliseksi vastineeksi. Voihan se niinkin olla, oikeastaan...
