Pärt, Arvo - Für Anna Maria

New Music for Young Pianists.

For Anna Maria 'is a composition that Arvo Pärt wrote for one of his recent admirers. It was created "on behalf" of the then 7-year-old Anna Maria from Estonia, and the composer dedicated to her this piano piece to her in 2006 for her 10th Birthday. The nature and scope of the work no doubt put Pärt in mind of "Für Alina", which appeared in 1976, his first turning to the famous tintinnabuli style. As an introduction to the musical works of Estonian composers, both works, which are not just for young pianists are particularly touching!
