harmonic bases… With all his mastery of composition he has not set any element of music, let it be harmony, counterpoint or form-polishing as a special purpose for himself.’ 2 1 Suurteos läbi aegade (A grand work throughout times) Päevaleht (Daily Newspaper) 30 June 1992. 2 Muusikaleht (Music Paper) 10 (1928). The second orchestral work in Estonian music – we must keep in mind the chronological order of their completion – was the dramatic overture Don Carlos1, composed as a term work by Artur Kapp in 1899. Artur Kapp graduated from the St. Petersburg Conservatoire in composition in 1900. He continued working in St. Petersburg as a teacher and organist, having given concerts in Moscow, Estonia and Finland since 1898. In 1904 he accepted the post of director at the Astrakhan2 Music School, where his activities were numerous: teaching, composing prolifically, and performing as an organist and conductor. In 1920 he returned home to Estonia.
