ESTONIAN SYMPHONIC MUSIC. THE FIRST CENTURY 1896-1996.

The direct struggle takes place between the chromatics accompanying the introductory theme and the brightness of the subsidiary theme. Growing depression is surmounted by the new theme that gains its strength from the folk song extending into a powerful and broad melody. Aavik remains a melodist, the fullness and sonority of tune are the typical features of this work. Everything is based on classical form and a romantic way of thing. This is quite natural because Aavik belongs to the first generation of Estonian symphonists. Rhythmic inquietude and “floundering” is alien to Aavik. The vivid feeling for the timbre colours must be felt. The whole work is simple in its architecture, the themes and their developed, qualitatively renewed repetitions stand out as building blocks.
