  18. Music Critic on Pärt and Estonia The sun shines just as brightly and just as often in Estonia as anywhere else, but such is the power of musical impressions that many in the West will imagine it a monochrome land of somber people praying in penitentially drafty churches.

  19. Interview with Pärt • I.R.: What do you think has changed in your creative process? Say, technically as well as in content? • A.P.: (makes some obscure movements in the air with his hand) Well, that way... • E.P.: What is "that way"? But maybe you don't start writing at all but dancing instead. Tell me "that way" is? What sound it is? • A.P.: What sound? • E.P.: What colour does this sound have? • A.P.: Blue. • E.P.: Good, we reached somewhere at last. Does it fly or jump or walk? • A.P.: The sun is shining there, but we don't see the sun.
