Composer's Notes
FUME was my first concerto work and I wrote it especially for Lauri Sallinen. This marvellous musician (and also a very nice person) was of much help during the writing process of the work. I'm forever grateful for all his comments on my ideas and writings during the composing process.
FUME was selected to the Jury's list of recommended works in the tremendously successful 2nd International Uuno Klami Composition Competition in 2009. The premiere was given by Lauri Sallinen and Avanti! Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Jani Telaranta at Ung Nordisk Musik Festival in 2010. FUME is dedicated to Lauri Sallinen.
