ESTONIAN SYMPHONIC MUSIC. THE FIRST CENTURY 1896-1996.

The process of symphonic development does not lead to synonymous results. 1 The device of sound (colour) field instead of clear-cut musical thematics is not novel, being firstly introduced in Estonian symphonism by Arvo Pärt in 1963 with his 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”.
