 AWAKENING – MUSIIKKIA PIANOLLE – uusi nuottikirja pianisteille

Säveltäjä, pianisti ja Sibelius-Akatemian vapaan säestyksen opettaja
Matti Paatelma on Suomen suurimpien pop-artistien luottopianisti. Hän on
säveltänyt 14 melodialtaan ja harmonialtaan lumoavaa teosta pianolle.
Kauneutensa keskellä nämä sävellykset sisältävät myös pedagogisia
ulottuvuuksia: ne harjoittavat muun muassa vasemman käden
murtosointusäestystä, valssisäestystä, oikean käden hyppyjä vasemman
yli, oktaavimelodioita sekä vasemman käden melodiaosuuksia. Luonnosta ja
erilaisista tunnetiloista inspiraatiota saaneet teokset ovat
tunnelmaltaan vahvoja ja elokuvallisia. Nuottikirjan viimeistellystä
ulkoasusta vastaa graafinen suunnittelija Erik Solin. Hänen työstämänsä
ja nuottikirjaan sijoittamansa Olli Oinaksen valokuvat tukevat
sävellysten tunnelmaa. Nämä teokset tulevat toimimaan vipuvartena
entistä parempaan pianismiin.

The compositions of the book can be listened here

Awakening — Music for Piano is based on the idea of combining classical and rhythmic music in an easily approachable way. The compositions in the collection are inspired by nature and varying emotional states. Paatelma’s compositional style can be described as cinematic — catchy melodies, beautiful harmonies and a strong atmosphere are at the center. This creates a good foundation for exploring and practicing the sonority and phrasing. Hidden in the compositions there are also étude-like features: left-handed broken chords, waltz accompaniment, right hand crossings over the left, melodies in octaves and melodies played by the left hand. The book includes also more challenging rhythmic structures and patterns, as well as a composition based on fifths. The last song, Farewell, introduces a section for the guitar. The guitar can be replaced with any instrument of your choice, playing the part one octave lower. Further, Going Home offers a possibility to participate with e.g., percussion. We hope that these compositions will support you in reaching a higher level of musicianship.

“Awakening is a wonderful collection of new, inspiring compositions.
The songs convey Paatelma’s versatile musicianship and ability to compose
enchanting melodies. The intriguing melodies capture the listener’s
heart and takes you from one mood to another. The pieces are
harmoniously rich and delicately finalized. Awakening is a delightful
collection that I can warmly recommend to all musicians! ”
– Sirkka-Liisa Kärkkäinen, lecturer in piano music, Sibelius Academy

A welcome collection for both young people and for persons of mature years”
