Welcome to follow the YouTube premiere of Markku Klami’s Etudes for guitar on Mondays, beginning on September 27 and continuing every Monday until November 29, 2021. Every video contains a discussion with Markku Klami and Patrik Kleemola at the end of the video. Join in by subscribing to the channel and hit the bell icon to keep updated! Sheet music for Klami’s Etudes is available from Edition Wilhelm Hansen (part of Wise Music Classical): A prominent feature in Kangastus is the use of a glass slide. The strings are plucked from both sides of the slide, resulting in sounds familiar from traditional slide guitar playing, as well as almost out- of-this-world sonic phenomena typically found in electroacoustic music. One can think of a mirage-like, even delirious state of mind. Patrik Kleemola’s website:
