Salonen’s work YTA 1 For Alto Flute Solo is created on a different scale Altogether from the composer's Orchestral works. Arising from an early ambition to write a large collection of virtuoso solo pieces that would connect toone another YTA 1 calls for the greatest possible artistry of the performer. The piece is scored for the entire range of the Alto Flute making much use of the extremes. YTA meaning ‘surface’ has a relentless driven texture in which Salonen has scored ‘key slaps’ ‘tongue rams’ and ‘kisses’. Esa-Pekka Salonen as conductor and composer has earned the highest standing in the contemporary musical world including his current positions as ConductorLaureate of the Los Angeles Philharmonic of which he was Music Director for seventeen years and as Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor for London’s Philharmonia Orchestra. His pieces Floof and LA Variations have enteredthe modern canon.

Composer's Note YTA is Swedish for 'surface'; my series of three YTA's - YTA 1 (alto flute), YTA 2 (Piano), YTA 3 (Cello)- were written with particular performers/friends in mind, and in each piece I have tried to capture and explore aspects of their virtuosity and that of their instrument. Being a Finn, 'surfaces' are often snowy and icy, and the music reflects a sparkling, crystalline and sometimes blinding quality, just as a vibrating, shimmering surface reflects a shing light. Although the surface of the music is extremely busy and dispenses with traditional medlody altogether, the formal process is considerably slower and partly hidden behind the frenetic stream and gleam of fast gestures. Esa-Pekka Salonen.
