Erkki-Sven Tüür: Piano Sonata (3/3) / Lorenzo Meo pianist

Erkki-Sven Tüür: Piano Sonata (1985) - III Allegro. Con Moto.
Lorenzo Meo, piano

A student of Jaan Rääts, Erkki-Sven Tüür belongs to the next generation of Estonian composers (1959). He started out as a progressive rock electric guitarist and would always be deeply influenced by King Crimson, Frank Zappa and Genesis. It was only in the late Eighties that Tüür joined the Estonian music scene as a professional composer: his catalog was enriched with symphonies, concertos and chamber music, while instrumental music became the core of his musical activity.

The 1985 Sonata - dedicated to his wife Anne - is one of the few pieces Tüür composed for solo piano. Divided into three movements and built in line with classical models, the sonata revives elaborate, complex sound that has little to do with tradition, mainly due to this unusual handling of pedal and to a certain penchant for the instrument's percussive aspects.
