Somebody on a radio programme yesterday was talking about Finnish
'stillness'. Not sure what that is but looking at Arto's sardonic photos
of Autumn splendour made me think of Timo Peedu's arrangement for guitar
of a piece for monster lute by Piccinini. Instead of the Italian
flamboyance of the original, the guitar piece seems - sort of -
'still'...and somehow Nordic.
So here (with his permission) are Arto's photographs with Timo Peedu's
Piccinini arrangement for guitar.

Arto has a youtube version of the same piece on a monster lute:

And Valéry has a youtube version of the same guitar arrangement on a
bigger (and very different-sounding) guitar than mine (mine made by Bill
Samson)
