7 Papillons for Cello Solo 大提琴

這部作品是魯道夫-斯坦納基金會委託創作的。這部作品是獻給 2000 年 9 月 10 日在赫爾辛基進行首演的安西-卡圖寧（Anssi Karttunen）的。Sept papillons是薩莉亞荷繼歌劇L'Amour de loin之後創作的第一部作品，其中一部分是在薩爾茨堡排練歌劇期間創作的。人們可以感受到薩莉亞霍想要尋找一個新世界的願望，而這個新世界在風格和語言上都與歌劇無關。歌劇中的隱喻都具有永恆的特質--愛情、嚮往和死亡--現在她轉而使用了短暫的隱喻：蝴蝶。此外，她還從歌劇的漫長時間跨度轉向了這七部微型作品，每部作品似乎都是對無始無終的脆弱和短暫運動的不同方面的研究"

SEPT PAPILLONS

原文簡介:
This work was commissioned by Rudolf Steiner Foundation. It is dedicated to Anssi Karttunen, who gave the first performance in Helsinki on 10th September 2000. Sept papillons was the first piece Saariaho wrote after her opera L'Amour de loin and it was partly written during the rehearsals of the opera in Salzburg. One can sense the desire to find a new world, which has nothing to do with the opera neither in style nor in language. From the metaphors of the opera which all have an eternal quality – love, yearning and death – she moved now to a metaphor of the ephemeral: butterfly. Also, from the long time-spans of the opera she moved to these seven miniatures, which each seem to be studies on a different aspect of fragile and ephemeral movement that has no beginning nor end.
