About this Piece

PictureJukka Viitasaari
This work was born in the early morning with the not-so-difficult “main theme” sounding in my head. I played it on the electric piano and stored a recording on my phone. After a strong morning coffee I continued to work on it in my study, the “bunker”. In such a simple piece, the problem is always how much articulation I  dare to put in it. The simple notation unfortunately often attracts march-like phrasing, so, as a former classroom teacher, I decided to take a more pedagogical approach: there are phrase slurs, a period and a line, and legato / marcato expression marks.

​The premiere was given at the 
National Wind Days in Jyväskylä by the Vire - Gradia Primary Wind Orchestra and the provincial blowers in a grade 1-2 program presentation concert on March 20, 2022.
