SOLO XIII

One of the big projects of Kalevi Aho (b. 1949) has been to create a virtuoso solo piece for every central instrument of the symphony orchestra. When the Italian Risuonanza Festival asked for a solo trombone piece, the composer was glad, because the trombone solo was still lacking from the Solo series. Kalevi Aho tells: “I like the trombone as an instrument, and I had before the Solo XIII composed already two big trombone works. In my Symphony No. 9 (1994) I have used the trombone as a solo instrument – in the premiere the Swedish trombonist Christian Lindberg played its demanding solo part - and 2010 I composed also a big trombone concerto for the Dutch trombonist Jörgen van Rijen. In Solo XIII (2017) I could utilize my knowledge about the possibilities of the instrument.” The piece is in one movement but includes several slower and faster sections. Rocco Rescigno premiered the 9-minute piece at the Risuonanze Festival in Pasian di Prato in 2019.
