Auli
s Sallinen (b. 1935) is
one of the most famous
Finnish contemporary
composers. In his early
instrumental works,
Sallinen was still
seeking to establish a
style of his own. He had
studied at the Sibelius
Academy in the late
1950s, first with Aarre
Merikanto - a composer
representing a national
brand of Neoclassicism -
and then with Joonas
Kokkonen, at that time
just transitioning from
Neoclassicism to
dodecaphony. Twelve-tone
music had won fairly
widespread acceptance in
contemporary Finn-ish
music, and Sallinen was
influenced, too. The
Variations are Sallinen's
first real work for the
cello - an instrument
that would later be one
of his favourites, its
warm, deep voice
corres-ponding to his
music's often dark
undercurrent.
The Variations for Cello
and Orchestra, Op. 5 were
composed in 1961-1962 and
premiered in October
1962. The basic motif
consists of a set of
three descending
intervals stated by the
cello at the beginning:
D-D flat-F, C-B-G and B
flat-A-F sharp. Their use
as basic material is a
ref-lection of the
composer's
dodecaphony-oriented
period, and variation of
this material provides
the framework for the
piece.
Variations for Cello and
Orchestra are now
published for the first
time. Available are a
reduction for cello and
piano, study score and
complete performance
material with
orchestra.
