The Petrushka Project is an unprecedented international live concert and commissioning initiative presented by Schott Music, boasting premieres of 75 solo piano pieces by a wide range of composers around the world. The Project affords a rare and unique opportunity for the infusion of a huge variety of new piano works into the international repertoire. Composers from 26 countries took part in Petrushka Project 2012, and the Project will be continued in the coming years.

"This music is inspired by the mysterious light and sounds of Finnish forests. As in the world of the German Romantics, forests are omnipresent in Mustonen's home country of Finland, the most wooded country in Europe (86% of its area is forested), offering abundant space for imagination and appreciation of nature. Kaksi Metsätunnelmaa was created as a contribution to the Petrushka Project 2012 'Dances of Our Time'. These two pieces are effective character pieces which can also be mastered by advanced piano pupils." (Olli Mustonen)
