Viisi Bagatellia = Five Bagatelles, for piano

These five miniatures by the Finnish composer Juhani Nuorvala dwell on echoes and ?shadows' formed around the notes, and timbral distortions made by colouring loudly­played notes with extremely quiet ?ghost tones'. These combinations are then transformed into the chordal domain. The first movement acts as a wellspring to which the others look for their source.
