Tuija Hakkila- Kaija Saariaho: Touches - Complete Works for Piano & Harpsichord (CD) Bruce Sudano Tiempos ViolentosPianist Tuija Hakkila enjoyed a close friendship with composer Kaija Saariaho (1952 2023) that lasted for over 40 years until the composer's death in 2023. Tuija Hakkila played a pivotal role in Saariaho's creations for the solo piano and harpsichord. Although Kaija Saariaho wrote several compositions featuring the piano, the composer felt that writing music for solo piano was particularly challenging due to the restrictions of the instrument.
