  • Toccata Classics TOCC 0119 Notes
    HEINO ELLER: COMPLETE PIANO WORKS, VOLUME ONE by Sten Lassmann Heino Eller1 (1887–1970) is one of the central figures in Estonian classical music, linking all parts of it into a coherent narrative, from the inception of a national culture to the modern day. Born in Tartu, the centre of Estonian national awakening at the time, he spent his childhood surrounded by music, but his professional training began late. From 1907 until 1920 he studied in St Petersburg, a metropolis with a booming musical and artistic life, which made him a witness to one of history’s most radical revolutions. From 1920 to 1940 Eller taught composition in his home town, where he instigated the influential ‘Tartu School of Composition’, and from 1940 until his death in 1970 he was a professor of composition in the Tallinn Conservatory, now the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre – a pedagogical career of exactly half a century, during which several generations of Estonian composers were educated under his tutelage, among them Eduard Tubin, Arvo Pärt and Lepo Sumera. Eller was a prolific composer whose works deserve wide attention. His music, distinguished by its austere expression, original use of modal harmony and a mastery of polyphonic texture, is largely lyrical with occasional epic undertones and gentle humour. In the context of Estonian classical music, where there is a strong predilection for vocal P music, it is remarkable that Eller´s œuvre consists almost entirely of instrumental works. His best-known pieces are the symphonic poem Koit (‘Dawn’) and Kodumaine viis (‘Homeland Tune’) for string orchestra, the latter bearing a symbolic status in Estonian culture similar to that of Sibelius’ Finlandia for the Finns.

  • MTO 20.2: Klorman, “Musical Form: Mapping the Territories”
    Volume 20, Number 2, June 2014 Copyright © 2014 Society for Music Theory “Musical Form: Mapping the Territories”: A Conference Report Edward Klorman KEYWORDS: form, sonata form, conference, Estonia Received May 2014 [1] The Seventh International Conference on Music Theory, entitled “Musical Form: Mapping the Territories,” was jointly organized by the Estonian Academy of Music and Theater and the Estonian Arnold Schoenberg Society. It took place 8–11 January 2014 in the cities of Tallinn and Pärnu. [2] The conference comprised thirty-eight regular papers, (1) three keynote addresses (by William Caplin and Nathan John Martin, James Hepokoski, and Steven Vande Moortele), and a roundtable in which Caplin, Martin, and Hepokoski were joined by Poundie Burstein and Peter H. Smith. Although this roster (and the conference’s theme) might suggest a focus on “common-practice” repertoire, nearly half the papers pertained to music after 1900. The pre-1900 sessions were overwhelmingly dominated by scholars based in North America (72%, including keynotes), whereas the inverse was true of sessions on post-1900 music (75% by non-North Americans). The complete conference program and abstracts are available in the Appendix . I will discuss each part of the conference in turn, including some unifying themes common to both. I. MUSIC BEFORE 1900 [3] The interpretation of what Sonata Theory regards as a continuous exposition constituted a central theme—or, perhaps better, a framing function—for the tonal portion of the conference, which opened with two keynotes, one by Caplin and Martin and the other by Hepokoski, and culminated in the roundtable discussion. Since Caplin’s ( 1998 , 2009 ) and Hepokoski–Darcy’s ( 2006 , 2009 ) theories have dominated studies of sonata form for over a decade, their relative positions are already well-enough known.

Allegro moderato ma rubato Heino Eller on üks tähtsamaid tegelasi eesti professionaalse muusikakultuuri arengus, tema pikaaegne loominguline ja pedagoogiline tegevus moodustavad otsekui ühenduslüli rahvuskultuuri lätete ning tänapäeva vahel. Kõige ilmekama ettekujutuse Elleri kesksest kohast eesti kultuuriloos saab siis, kui mõelda, et lapsena mängis ta viiulit Karl August Hermannile (1851–1909), kes muu hulgas püüdis leida maakeelset vastet saksakeelsele sõnale komponist (ning pakkus oma ajakirjas “Laulu ja mängu leht” selleks iluhelide looja); vanameistrina jõudis aga õpetada Lepo Sumerat (1950–2000), eesti elektroonilise nüüdismuusika rajajat. Eller sündis 1887. aastal Tartus ning puutus varasest east peale kokku nii laulu kui ka pillimänguga, kuid professionaalset muusikaõpetust hakkas saama võrdlemisi hilja, alles 12aastaselt. Aastatel 1907–1920 elas Eller Peterburis, õppides nii Peterburi konservatooriumis (alguses viiulit, hiljem heliloomingut) kui ka Peterburi ülikoolis (õigusteadust). Tolleaegse maailmalinna rikkaliku kultuurielu kõrval koges Eller omal nahal ka 1917. aasta revolutsioonikeerist. 1920. aastal, pärast Tartu rahulepingu sõlmimist Eesti ning Nõukogude Venemaa vahel, tuli Heino Eller ühes tuhandete teiste Venemaa avarustes elanud ning töötanud eestlastega tagasi kodumaale elama.

Eller´s legacy is twofold – in his prolific instrumental compositions he forged an elaborate style that successfully combined both modern and national elements, and as a prominent professor of composition during half a century he influenced generations of Estonian composers, amongst them Eduard Tubin (1905–1982), Arvo Pärt (b. 1935) and Lepo Sumera (1950–2000). Eller´s best known composition, Kodumaine viis (‘Homeland tune’) in arrangement for string orchestra, rose to prominence during the 1950s and 1960s as the chief vehicle for expressing national feelings and identity under Soviet occupation. The work remains to this day an instrumental equivalent of a national anthem, in its importance bearing comparison to Jean Sibelius’s Finlandia. In the independent Estonia of the 1920s and 1930s Eller was considered the leading modernist of the country, and his music was extolled for its novelty and technical prowess.

Andante. Allegro molto (1947) 13:44 *World premiere recording BAIBA SKRIDE, violin ESTONIAN NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA OLARI ELTS, conductor 3 Heino Eller (1887–1970) is one of the founders of Estonian professional musical culture. Eller´s legacy is twofold – in his prolific instrumental compositions he forged an elaborate style that successfully combined both modern and national elements, and as a prominent professor of composition during half a century he influenced generations of Estonian composers, amongst them Eduard Tubin (1905–1982) Arvo Pärt (b. 1935) and Lepo Sumera (1950–2000). Eller´s best known composition, Kodumaine viis (‘Homeland tune’) for string orchestra, rose to prominence during the 1950s and 1960s as the chief vehicle for expressing national feelings and identity under Soviet occupation. The work remains to this day an instrumental equivalent of a national anthem, in its importance bearing comparison to Jean Sibelius´s Finlandia. In the independent Estonia of the 1920s and 1930s Eller was considered the leading modernist of the country, and his music was extolled for its novelty and technical prowess. In 1925 the founding father of modern musicology, prof. Guido Adler from the Vienna University attested to Eller´s music being the continuation of Grieg´s ‘Northern style’ and a successful synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.

  • Eduard Tubin Was One of the Most Important Figures in the Development of the Estonian National Idiom, and the Father Figure of Estonian Symphonic Music
    Eduard Tubin was one of the most important figures in the development of the Estonian national idiom, and the father figure of Estonian symphonic music. In 1930, Tubin graduated from Heino Eller’s composition department at Tartu Higher Music School and thereafter served as orchestra and choir conductor, piano accompanist and composer in Tartu, until his work in his homeland was cut short by the Soviet occupation. In 1944, Tubin emigrated to Sweden, Stockholm, where he worked as a restorer of old manuscripts in the archive of the Drottningholm PalaceTheatre museum (1945–1972) and was active in local Estonian musical life. In 1982, Tubin became a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music. Eduard Tubin became a composer at a time when modernist trends became widespread as a reaction to late romanticism. Tubin has composed ten symphonies (11th is unfinished). He has also written suites and short pieces for orchestra and songs for choir and solo voice. His major ensemble works are the piano quartet, a string quartet, 2 sonatas for violin and piano, sonatas for alto saxophone, flute, viola and piano, two piano sonatas and pieces for violin and piano. Tubin also wrote two violin concertos, a piano concertino, a double bass concerto and a balalaika concerto. Besides the ballet Goblin, Tubin’s stage works include two operas. The persisting qualities of Tubin’s work are the expressive role of rhythm, thematic unity based on persistent interval relations and linear polyphony. Both his melodies and variant development are associated with Estonian folk melody. The tonal freedom and style in Tubin’s work are modernist, but his form shaping is conservative.
