Ilkk a Kuusisto's raucous and technically somewhat challenging suite for clarinet and piano Kissalan Aapelin soitteita (Aapeli of Kissala plays the Clarinet) is a musical portrait gallery of the Seven Brothers by playwright Aleksis Kivi. They all get musical pictures played by Aapeli, a character also appearing in the play. Musical motives are derived from the characteristics of the main persons, ie. the movement Tuomas is in slow tempo, as if portraying the trustworthiness of stable Tuomas. Aapo's Menuetto may refer to the characters abilities to tell stories. Simeoni wrestles with the Devil, as he does in the book with both alcohol and in his religious beliefs. Eero, the youngest of the brothers is portrayed in a fast polka. The suite was commissioned by Tapio Lotjonen for specifically for piccolo clarinet. In this volume the solo part is published both in B-flat and E-flat transpositions, as prepared by the composer. Contents: 1. Jussin polska * Jussi's polska 2. Tuomas 3. Menuetti Aapolle * A Menuetto for Aapo 4. Simeoni ja Perkele * Simeoni and the Devil 5. Timon Masurkka * Timo's mazurka 6. Laurin marssi * Lauri's march 7. Eeron polkka * Eeros's polka.

Étude du Rythme is an educational tool proposed by Georges Dandelot (1895-1975), a French composer, agreeing with the concept that rhythm is the foundation on which melody and harmony are then layered. It was conceived to progressively teach musicians how to deal with complicated rhythms such as those used by Bartok or Ravel. This is the fifth and last volume of a step-by-step method to learn and master rhythm in music. It follows on the knowledge acquired in the four first volumes, highlighting the “mixed measures” and using complex combinations of rhythms and melody with binary and tertiary tempos.
