	Spiegel im Spiegel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Spiegel im Spiegel is a piece of music written by Arvo Pärt in 1978, just prior to his departure from Estonia.
		"Spiegel im Spiegel" in German means "Mirror in the Mirror." This is referring to the visual effect of looking into a mirror with a parallel facing mirror behind the looker.
		The effect produced is an infinite regress of images or a "hall of mirrors".

	Arvo Part - musicolog.com
		The version of "Spiegel and Spiegel" for cello and piano is played by Dietmar Schwalke with Alexander Malter and set at the centre of the album.
		The expected track listing of Alina is: 1.Spiegel im Spiegel for violin and piano (Vladimir Spivakov, Sergej Bezrodny), 2.Für Alina (Alexander Malter piano), 3.Spiegel im Spiegel for cello and piano (Dietmar Schwalke, Alexander Malter), 4.Für Alina (Alexander Malter), 5.Spiegel im Spiegel (Spivakov/Bezrodny).
		It should also be mentioned that Vladimir Spivakov is the original dedicatee of Spiegel im Spiegel (composed in 1978) and that this will be his premiere recording of the work.

		Almost equally gentle is Spiegel im Spiegel, played as tracks 1, 3 and 5 and scored for piano and, respectively, violin, cello, and then violin again.
		The album consists of several long movements/variations of two songs, "Spiegel Im Spiegel" and "Für Alina." Both are very similar in scope and lend themselves well to each other without battling for the spotlight.
		Alina è diviso in cinque movimenti, costituiti in realtà da diverse interpretazioni di due brani alternati secondo lo schema A-B-A-B-A: il duetto "Spiegel im Spiegel" ed il monologo "Fur Alina", quest'ultimo a formare i pilastri d'un ideale ponte a tre campate.

	Classical Net Review - Pärt - Spiegel im Spiegel, Für Alina
		Speigel im Spiegel was written in 1978, and Für Alina was written two years earlier.
		These works are very early examples of Pärt's current style of composition, which he refers to as "tintinnabuli" – an allusion to bells and their tolling, triadic melodies.
		So, to return to this review's opening sentence, part of what this disc offers is three performances of Spiegel im Spiegel two for violin and piano (the original scoring, I believe, because Spivakov was the work's dedicatee) and one for cello and piano.

	La Folia -- Part at 70
		I’m indifferent to the composer’s religiosity, an attitude on my part that probably flies in the face of his adherents.
		Spiegel im Spiegel (1978) and Für Alina (1976) are the disc’s only compositions, the latter played twice, the former (surrounding it) thrice.
		These recordings of Spiegel im Spiegel suffer because the solo string player (violin first and third time, cello second) never quite meshes with the keyboard.

	Recording review:
		But beyond rigorous discussions of how these five, typically ten-minute long, interpretations of a pair of scores work, there is the stark fact of skeletal melodies.
		Spiegel Im Spiegel (1978) for piano and violin (or violincello), and Fur Alina (1976) for solo piano, require the deepest most sympathetic ear for any extra-musical reward to be possible from such spare music.
		In "Spiegel Im Spiegel," the rising major key and descending minor key scale melodies reflect the sounds of contemplated experience whose residual or stored emotion may follow.

		Symmetrical, reflective, and refractive, it consists of five long pieces: "Spiegel im Spiegel," done twice by Vladimir Spivakov on violin with Sergei Bezrodny on piano and once with Dietmar Schwalke on bass and Alexander Malter on piano, and "Für Alina," done twice by Malter.
		"Spiegel im Spiegel" has been recorded before, but this is its debut by Spivakov, the great Russian violinist to whom it is dedicated.
		And the cello-based version at the center gives "Spiegel im Spiegel" yet another, more brooding dimension.

	Record box. A generous recital - Vadim Gluzman plays Schnittke, Pärt, Vasks and Kancheli, recommended by Howard ...
		To date the two items of Arvo Pärt; Fratres and Spiegel im Spiegel [listen -- track 8, 0:01-1:24], have gained widespread public acceptance more completely than music of Schnittke, Vasks or Kancheli.
		And as sleeve note writer Per F Broman observes Henryk Gorecki's 3rd Symphony which found immense popularity in the early 1990s, may have paved the way for a new, contemplative, anti-modernistic tonal tradition, typified by both Gorecki and John Tavener.

		134; Krzysztof Penderecki: Cadenza for Solo Violin; Arvo Pärt: spiegel im spiegel; Alfred Schnittke: Sonata No.
		The Pärt piece, spiegel im spiegel (mirror in the mirror) is a quiet work with arpeggiated triplets on the piano backed by the violin.
		In another context it would pass for "new age" music, but here it acts as a counterweight to the more emotionally assertive pieces surrounding it.

		And it's this relentless shifting that creates the surface tension necessary to shore up the work's expansive structure.
		In between the Schnittke and Kancheli, two relative extremes, comes the mesmerizing minimalism of Arvo Pärt's Fratres (1977) and Spiegel im spiegel (1978) and the rustic, quasi-Bartókian Little Summer Music (1946) of Peteris Vasks.
		It's an intriguing and thoroughly compelling program, and one that's greatly enhanced by the performances.
