The two
sonatas of Johannes
Brahms's op. 120 are
widely hailed as crowning
points of the repertoire
for clarinet and piano.
Moreover, in the version
for viola and piano
arranged by Brahms
himself, they rank among
the most frequently
played viola works of the
19th century. They far
surpass in compositional
substance the relatively
few original sonatas
written for these
instrumentations during
the same period.Of the
two fellow works, the
Sonata No. 2 in E flat
major is the more
accessible. Diverging
from the
classical-romantic
tradition, Brahms used
the key of E flat major
here not to express the
heroic or monumental, but
to obtain lyrical,
chiefly restrained
characterizations. The
serenade-like beauty of
the principal theme,
which opens the sonata,
has always been
particularly admired. In
his review of the world
premiere, the renowned
Viennese music critic
Eduard Hanslick, a friend
of Brahms's, raves with
the words it was as if it
had fallen from the
Heavens. The closing set
of variations also
follows with gentle
gracefulness this lyrical
character. However, the
middle movement, with its
tempestuous outer
sections in E flat minor
and the hymnic trio in B
major provides a
passionate and serious
contrast, which allows
the flanking idyll to
unfold its beauties all
the more insistently.

Harri
Wessman (b. 1949) is
interested in all aspects
of music that may be
expressive, without in
any way ignoring the
possibilities of melody.
He himself describes his
harmonic method as a kind
of contrapuntally treated
jazz harmony. Wessman is
particularly preoccupied
with the ability of music
to express emotions, an
interest which has led
him to study the
so-called doctrine of the
affections and the
musical rhetoric of the
baroque era. His Eine
kleine Figurenlehre for
wind quartet and piano is
a playful application of
a set of baroque musical
figures.
His
output is dominated by
chamber and vocal music
as well as a number of
concertos for various
instruments such as the
Concerto for Trumpet and
Orchestra and the
Serenade for Piano and
String Orchestra. During
recent years pedagogic
music has become a more
and more central area in
his output with an
emphasis on creating
repertoire for budding
musicians, from beginners
to young professionals.
He has even tailored some
solo and chamber works
for young musicians that
he personally knows: e.g.
Five Trombone Pieces for
Minna Kajander (1992),
Five Horn Pieces for
Jenni Kuronen (1993),
Five Piano Etudes for
Tiina Karakorpi, Five
Trumpet Pieces for
Alevtina Parland and Five
Double Bass Pieces for
Amanda Thieme. Other
chamber and solo pieces
include Pan and the Nymph
Pitys (1979) for flute
and guitar, Three
Caprices for Konstantin
Weitz (1994) for solo
violin and Capriccio for
wind ensemble (1989).
