Many many thanks for this lively video! I wonder whether Aho would have done better to concentrate on the piano, cello or french horn?
It is Aho's declared intention to write a concerto for every instrument in the orchestra.
So far he has managed to compose concertos for-
Violin, Viola, Cello (and Two Cellos), Double-Bass, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, Contrabassoon, Soprano Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone (and Saxophone Quartet), Horn, Trumpet, Trombone, Tuba, Timpani, Percussion, Piano, Accordion, Theremin.
There is a Double Concerto for Cor Anglais and Harp....but perhaps he intends separate concertos for each of these? Then there is the piccolo, the harpsichord, the celeste, the harmonica......... ???
