Salmenhaara Erkki: Sonata for cello and piano

Salmenhaara Erkki: Sonata for cello and piano.

The Sonata for violin and piano (1982) is repre-sentative of Salmenhaara's neotonal style as far as all the movements advance from one key to another, and never return to the original one. The formal structure, too, is a free process of themesthat usually are not recapitulated. The slow middle movements reminds of Ravel's harmonic language.
