Arvo Pärt, Für Anna Maria, for piano

Discover this charming piano piece, Arvo Pärt's Für Anna Maria, commissioned by a 7-year-old girl for her 10th birthday. This one-minute miniature in G major perfectly captures the joyful and innocent spirit of a little girl. With two interpretation choices - cheerfully or contemplatively - the pianist can convey different emotions. The world premiere of Für Anna Maria was at Nargen Festival, Estonia in August 2006, where Arvo Pärt himself took to the piano."
