Mikk
o Heinio (b. 1948)
composed his Sonata for
Guitar (2019) the
instrument in his lap.
The inspiring cooperation
with the guitarist Patrik
Kleemola can be heard
throughout the
four-movement sonata. The
first (Intro) and last
(Coda) have the same
tempo but the former is
kaleidoscopic and the
latter an unbroken
ribbon. Correspondingly,
the second (Rubato)
movement is fragmentary,
while the third (Rondo)
has a leisurely blues
beat. The Rubato is
coloured by crotchet
steps produced by
plucking between the nut
and the left hand, and
the Rondo is marked by
slide glissandos. The
overall duration is c. 14
minutes.
