{"product_id":"signes-for-violoncello-and-organ","title":"Signes for violoncello and organ","description":"Lotta Wennäkoski composed Signes (Signs) for cello and organ in 2025 for a special project in which Anssi Karttunen and Olivier Latry commissioned and premiered several duos in memory of Kaija Saariaho (1952–2023). Saariaho was her former teacher: Wennäkoski studied with her at the Sibelius Academy in the late 1990s, and we remained in touch thereafter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSignes begins with one of Saariaho's favourite cello gestures: the low E-flat and its natural harmonic, the G two octaves above. More generally, the musical material of Signes has its roots in the final movement of Wennäkoski's Violin Concerto Prosoidia (2022–23), which she had already dedicated to Kaija.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuration: c. 6'30''","brand":"Fennica Gehrman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58340079731023,"sku":"9790550181038","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9790550181038_1-signes-for-violoncello-and-organ.jpg?v=1785334598","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/signes-for-violoncello-and-organ","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
