Recollection

PPianist and music teacher Heljo Sepp recalls her beloved teacher and composer Heino Eller. She talks about her PhD dissertation at the Moscow Conservatoire where she researched the piano music by Heino Eller. She is interviewed by music historian Ivalo Randalu. They walk in Kadriorg Park, in Eller's summer home in Laulasmaa and by the sea. Background music is Eller's "Melody of Homeland" ("Kodumaine viis"). Heljo Sepp has a lot to say about its harmony, dynamics, tension of the piece; she also recalls the story of how she found the piece and titled it.
