Kalevi Aho has produced a varied body of work that continues to grow rapidly. He first tackled the genre of string quartet at the very beginning of his composing career, more than fifty years ago, and has only recently returned to it. Aho was only 18 when he completed his SQ 1 in 1967. Self-taught at the time, he took his inspiration from the essentially tonal music he played on the violin or heard on the radio. The Second Quartet was composed in 1970, during his study years.
