Description
'Kuusi', (The Spruce) is the 5th and last of Jean Sibelius' 'Five Pieces for Piano', Op. 75, written in 1914.
When I was preparing for a concerto performance with the Tampere Philharmonic in 2016, I wanted to find an encore piece which would really connect with the local people. I decided to adapt 'Kuusi' since it is widely known by the Finnish people, akin to other masterworks by Sibelius such as 'Finlandia' and his 'Violin Concerto'.
The composition is highly evocative and whenever I play this piece I imagine the crisp, clean air, the sound of snowfall and the spruce; standing strongly and beautifully across the backdrop of the snowy iconic Finnish landscape.
