ESTONIAN SYMPHONIC MUSIC. THE FIRST CENTURY 1896-1996.

First Symphony. But their significance and role have changed since that time. Sumera has introduced more colours, diversified their application, creating several “events” and tinges in the foreground with the general tone remaining the same in the same movement. Such a colouring, let it be mild or sharp depending on authors, leaves sometimes a feeling of incompleteness, it may be really needed following a dramaturgical intention, but in some other case this device remains questionable (as it was with Pärt in the Sixties): there is a lack of “optical” fixing, replaced by a general “description”. Though Sumera’s music sounds purely Estonian, it is understandable as an all-human language. It sounds poetic and slightly ironic, philosophical and tragic at the same time. This is an original blend from musical phrases being born in different times in different countries. 2
