Lauri Kilpio's (b. 1974) Memories and Impressions (2019) is a 14-movement suite for solo piano lasting around 24 minutes. It was commissioned by the Mikkeli Music School. The duration and level of technical difficulty of the pieces increase progressively, from the rudiments toward the relatively advanced D-level (although some movements are in practice closer to the even more challenging C-level). Part of the idea for the suite was for performers of different levels to alternate pieces as the suite progressed. Any pianist may play the entire suite as well, or a selection of excerpts. Memories and Impressions was premiered by students of the Mikkeli Music School during the national seminar of the Finnish Association of Piano Pedagogues in February 2020.
