Arvo PärtArvo Pärt (nacido el 11 de septiembre de 1935) es un compositor clásico estonio y uno de los compositores vivos más importantes de la música sacra. Pärt nació en Paide, provincia de Järva, Estonia. Un conflicto prolongado con los oficiales soviéticos le hicieron emigrar con su esposa y dos hijos en 1980. Vivió primero en Viena, Austria, donde tomó la nacionalidad austríaca, y después se mudó a Berlín, Alemania. Regresó a Estonia con el comienzo del siglo XXI y ahora reside en Taillin.
Desde finales de los 70, Pärt trabajó en el estilo minimalista empleando una técnica de composición propia llamada tintinnabuli. Su música también se inspira e toma influencia del canto Gregoriano.
"Spiegel im spiegel", en alemán puede significar tanto "espejo en el espejo" como "espejos en el espejo", refiriéndose a la infinidad de imágenes producidas por espejos planos paralelos. Es una pieza de música compuesta por Arvo Pärt en 1978, justo antes de su salida de Estonia. La pieza originalmente escrita para un solo piano y violín -aunque el violín a menudo se ha reemplazado por un violencelo o una viola. También existen versiones para doble bajos, clarinetes, flauta y percusión. La pieza es música minimalista, aunque produce una serena tranquilidad. Está música se utiliza frecuentemente en televisión, cine y teatro, incluyendo películas de Isabel Coixet ("Elegía 2008"), Guy Ritche ("Swept away" 2002), Gus Van Sant ("Gerry" 2002) y David Trueba ("Soldados de Salamina" (2002), entre otros. Hoy lo mostramos como celebración de la llegada de la primavera esta semana.

A prolonged struggle with Soviet officials led him to emigrate with his wife and their two sons in 1980. He lived first in Vienna, Austria, where he took Austrian citizenship, and then re-located to Berlin, Germany. He returned to Estonia around the turn of the 21st century and now lives in Tallinn.
