…à la Fumée (…Into Smoke) is a symphonic composition by Kaija Saariaho written in 1990 at the age of 38. It is a sequel to her 1989-90 work Du Cristal… and starts where it ends with a violoncello solo long trill sul ponticello. Both compositions form the title From Glass Into Smoke inspired by Henri Atlan’s 1979 essay Entre le cristal et la fumée: Essai sur l’organisation de vivant.
