Endangered

Endangered was composed for the compulsory 2nd round program of the international  Ilmari Hannikainen piano chamber music competition  2023. The competition will take place on 2–9 March 2023 in Jyväskylä. 

I used two kind of material freely as an impulse for the piece:: motifs from Hannikainen´s Sairas lintu (L'oiseau malade - The Sick Bird) and the sounds of birds classified as highly endangered in Finland. 

Thanks to my violin teacher Riikka Alakärppä. <3
