Composed by Kalevi Aho. Published by Fennica Gehrman (FG.55009-549-6).

ISBN 979-0-55009-549-6.

Aho's Piano Sonata composed in 1980 turned out demanding and weighty. The sizzling, improvisatory opening movement is followed by a relentlessly advancing, aggressive Allegro molto, which culminates in wild glissandos and clusters. The third movement builds up from a quiet beginning to a downright Beethovenian climax with series of trills and tremolos. The overall form might be compared with Beethoven's Piano Sonata in E Major op. 109.
