	classical music - andante - rautavaara: aleksis kivi
		The opera's form is that of a flashback, showing the mad, hallucinating Kivi at the end of his life and then proceeding with a recounting of his rise and fall, with the title character's young and old selves played by two different singers.
		Little in Rautavaara's previous output quite prepares you for how clichÃ©d the opera is. The story is told in the broadest of strokes: Ahlqvist — seen in a number of manifestations, including a doctor supposedly treating Kivi's illness, and in more hallucinatory moments, Satan himself — is so prosaic that he doesn't even sing.
		Yet at every turn, Rautavaara seems so purposeful in his approach, you have to ask yourself if he is attempting to forge a new approach toward his stage works, perhaps his own version of opera as historic pageant.

		Rautavaara also has the ability to create the memorable (and original) musical gesture.
		Rautavaara's music, on the one hand, sounds as if it moves in the traditional modern way.
		Rautavaara's symphony reminds me somewhat of Ives's Unanswered Question, since long stretches of it contrast three different elements simultaneously: slow chords, angry winds and brass, and a corkscrew line in the violins, turning back on itself and yet moving forward.

		Rautavaara has been often judged unfairly for his extremes in the use of tonality and that it suposedly limits his expression as an artist.
		Rautavaara's score sounds, at first hearing anyway, to be just a slight departure from his previous styles.
		Rautavaara's Rasputin is not as bad as, let's say, Tod Macchover's excruciatingly dull and uninformed (musically speaking only) Resurrection, or Deborah Drattel's ridiculous flop based on the same story of Rautavaara's opera called Nicholas and Alexandra.

		The Symphony No. 3 (which Rautavaara notes is the synthesis of the romanticism of his 1st Symphony and the serialism of his 2nd Symphony) unabashedly and unapologetically looks back at Bruckner (complete even to the incorporation of 4 Wagner tubas in the scoring).
		That the music is built entirely on tone rows might well go unnoticed by the listener; the craft that Rautavaara has at his fingertips is quite remarkable and the result is anything but “serial” in the usual sense of the term.
		This was the piece with which Rautavaara abandoned his adherence to the rigid forms of post-war atonalism and, to my mind at least, his masterpiece.

		Rautavaara, however, "adopted a rather cavalier attitude to row technique." As he would do for the next forty years, he incorporated some elements of serialism in his work, but combined them with elements from other styles, to create works that are a highly individualistic pastiche of bits and pieces.
		Regardless of the style in which he writes, Rautavaara takes an approach to composition that is both mystical and intellectual.
		He says that he does not create the basic elements of his works so much as discover them, then allow them to express themselves, using his talents and skills as a composer as their instrument.

	Einojuhani Rautavaara, On the Last Frontier
		On his return to Europe, feeling the need to broaden his musical horizons still further, Rautavaara took lessons from one of the then leading figures in the central European avant-garde, Wladimir Vogel.
		his eclecticism, Rautavaara retains a distinctive voice of his own, and it is his musical imagination that reigns supreme rather than any self-conscious pre-occupation with style or effect.
		Writing about his Violin Concerto (1977), Rautavaara cited Kundera describing symphonic music as "a journey through a world without borders," and in the finest of his works, his ideas unfold as do the seemless events of a journey.

		It opens with the composer's best-known work, the Cantus Arcticus, or "Concerto for Birds and Orchestra." Perhaps a more accurate title would be "Concerto for Bird Voices and Orchestra, and it should be specified that the songs are on tape, lest performers and audiences anticipate a messily hazardous quarter-hour in the concert hall.
		Rautavaara takes the taped cries of wild birds from the arctic regions, speeds them up, slows them down, and supports them with a lush, sometimes almost Technicolor orchestral accompaniment.
		The First Symphony (1982-83) is relatively brief and is based on a chord of two perfect fifths stacked upon each other and separated by a major third.
