SCHUBERT 4.0 // Jorma Toots // Musica Sacra Tartu

Franz Schubert (1797–1828)
Three Piano Pieces, D 946
Sonata in A minor, D 537

Jorma Toots, piano

Some musical works seem to open a space in which music travels on the boundary between the visible and invisible worlds. Schubert’s Three Piano Pieces, D 946 (1828), part of his late oeuvre, are the composer’s last major works for piano, combining exceptionally rich harmony, imaginative form, lyricism and unexpected dramatic contrasts. The Sonata in A minor, D 537, was completed in 1817, when Schubert was only twenty years old. Already here, characteristics of his mature style are evident.

Pianist Jorma Toots graduated from the Heino Eller Tartu Music School, where he studied piano with Pille Taniloo. At the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, his teachers were Professor Lilian Semper and Professor Matti Reimann. He is currently pursuing doctoral studies at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, where he researches the possibilities of imitating orchestral colours in piano ensembles. Jorma works as a teacher at the Eller Music School and is a lecturer at the University of Tartu Viljandi Culture Academy. As a soloist and ensemble musician, he performs regularly both in Estonia and abroad. Together with pianist Ebe Müntel, they form the piano duo Ebe Müntel and Jorma Toots, which began regular activities in 2004. That same year, the duo reached the final of the young performers’ competition “Con Brio”. In the 2008–2009 season, the duo successfully participated in piano-duo competitions in Poland and the Czech Republic.
