Arvo Pärt - Für Alina (1976) • Für Alina by Arvo Pärt (performed by Coversart) is available in all major streaming services: https://album.link/rDDFPN9NbNr4T • Für Alina (English: For Alina) is a work for piano composed by the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. It can be considered as an essential work of his tintinnabuli style • Für Alina was first performed in Tallinn in 1976, along with six other works, after a long preparatory period in Pärt's life as a composer. This concert was the first to introduce his new signature style of composition, referred to as the tintinnabuli style. • The title echoes Beethoven's piece for solo piano Für Elise. While the identity of the dedicatee of Beethoven's work is unclear, Für Alina was dedicated to a family friend's eighteen-year-old daughter. The family had broken up and the daughter went to England with her father. The work, dedicated to the daughter, was actually meant as a work of consolation for the girl's mother, missing her child. Its introspection calls to mind a vivid image of youth, off to explore the world. • The piece appears very simple on the page. The score of Für Alina is only two pages long. It is in the key of B minor and is played piano. The only notation related to tempo is Ruhig, erhaben, in sich hineinhorchend, which roughly translates as peacefully, in an elevated and introspective manner.There is no time signature. According to the physicist Carlo Rovelli, who has spoken of his interest in the piece, time appears to have stopped here. • The piece has been used in soundtracks, for example in the films Foxcatcher (2014) and Mostly Martha (2001), where it is performed by Alexander Malter. • *As part of the #Summer2020sessions. Piano: #Pleyel • #Coversart
