Composer's
Note YTA is Swedish for
'surface'; my series of
three YTA's - YTA 1 (alto
flute), YTA 2 (Piano),
YTA 3 (Cello)- were
written with particular
performers/friends in
mind, and in each piece I
have tried to capture and
explore aspects of their
virtuosity and that of
their instrument. Being a
Finn, 'surfaces' are
often snowy and icy, and
the music reflects a
sparkling, crystalline
and sometimes blinding
quality, just as a
vibrating, shimmering
surface reflects a shing
light. Although the
surface of the music is
extremely busy and
dispenses with
traditional medlody
altogether, the formal
process is considerably
slower and partly hidden
behind the frenetic
stream and gleam of fast
gestures. Esa-Pekka
Salonen.
