First performance in the Radio Theatre by the ERSO, 24 Nov. 1984, conducted by Vello Pähn.
During the lasting colourful vibraphone line that seems like “lace-making” but
without development a harsh theme (woodwinds) appears, prepared earlier, it paces
heavily:
Example 232.
Tüür is building to a culmination by expanding and deepening the texture and
dynamics quite homogeneously; there is no transformation but rather the accumulation
of power through “heaping up” different minimalist “threads” (a certain resemblance to
the first symphonies of Sumera and Pärt) in quite a different rhythmic formula.
In the third movement, Con moto, violins enter with the basic theme in a
modified movement. In comparison to the previous movement it is short and does not
display any new image.
