ESTONIAN SYMPHONIC MUSIC. THE FIRST CENTURY 1896-1996.
Põldmäe does not apply quite finished dance episodes, his images are flowing in time.
The opinion of the Lithuanian composer Antanas Rekašius:
I liked the ballet very much, especially the work of the ballet master with his intentions, novel
and original approach to choreography, to the solution of different lines of the plot. I regard the
exact dovetailing music drift plot as a great achievement. The judgement on the evil force is
given clearly, excitingly and convincingly.1
Recognising the specific possibilities and potential of his talent, Põldmäe gave
little attention to symphonic music in his later creative works. The most extensive work
during the period under observation is the Concerto-Symphony for percussion
instruments and symphony orchestra (1981).2
A saxophone plus a rich choice from the percussion section including bongo,
chimes, bells, xylophone, marimba, vibraphone, crotales and slapstick are added to
