| | Composer [Eduard Tubin] / SMIC |
 | | At the time of his precipitate departure from Estonia in 1944, Eduard Tubin ranked as its foremost composer, and subsequently he retained very close links with his old country. |
 | | Tubin’s music has an insistant rhythmic beat, clarity of structure and imaginative, colourful orchestration. |
 | | The first composition he wrote here was Piano Concertino (1944), which, it is true, was played and well-received: “Tubin’s style is modern but not dry and linear but full of folk music temperament, buoyant and vigorous. |
