In Tampere, Finland, surprisingly many, relatively young and active composers with their own distinctive voice are making their mark. This would not be possible without Jouni Kaipainen, the grand old man of the Tampere scene. He was both a lecturer at the Tampere Music Academy and the composer-in-residence for the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra, and as a true Tampere culture person an inspiration to the younger generation. Jouni's passing was a moment of deep grief for all of us in Tampere - we are left with sadness and longing. Tommi Hyytinen commissioned a sonata for horn and piano from me at around that time, so I decided to dedicate the work in Jouni's memory. The work passes through different emotions and sections within the rather wide-arched sonata form. The final movement is very much in memoriam Jouni Kaipainen. This sonata continues my project to write sonatas for each solo instrument and piano.
