| Erkki-Sven Tüür Recent Unofficial Works | ||
| Last Update: October 9, 2002 | ||
| For this purpose, I am
defining "recent" works as those that postdate Erkki-Sven Tüür's 1984
graduation from composition studies at the Tallinn Conservatory of Music. They are thus
too recent to be labelled "student" or early works but for one reason or another
they have been excluded from the composer's official works list. Only two of the
compositions below have been released as commercial recordings. In order to complete the
information on this page I am searching for information on further details of each work's
character and duration, details of world premiere performers and locations, publishers and
other information of interest. If you have any additional information, contributions or
comments you would like to make, you can contact me via e-mail at: alan.teder@sympatico.ca |
