Preludes, etudes and poems are like a planetarium with points of light twinkling in every direction. The grand old man of Finnish Modernism Paavo Heininen's (b. 1938) extensive output for piano expands with a comprehensive four-part collection of etydes (Etydes op. 104, 2011/2016). Each cycle consists of 12 etudes and a finale in a form of a set of variations. Complexity as style and humour as guideline in titles and ideas, these etydes can be programmed in combination with other pieces and as interludes between them.
