Comissioned by Juvenalia Music Institute for a chamber music competition in 2012, Patikka (Trek) for piano trio (2011) is a perfect chamber music piece for young players. Idiomatic writing and clear, memorable characters create a transparent texture. Kirmo Lintinen (b. 1967) is a man of many musical talents: composer, pianist and conductor. His catalogue encompasses almost all gen-res and categories of composition, from solo work to opera, and he operates with ease from one to another without being a crossover artist; in his case, the versatility is both internalised and innate. He often finds inspiration in French music of the 1920s and its intrinsic musicality. Humour and playfulness are characteristic elements of his music, as are a natural, musicianly approach and an enchantingly effervescent, even tongue-in-cheek texture.
