About this project
Boundaries is a musical project dedicated to Estonian classical
contemporary piano music. The 24 Marginalia for two pianos,
op. 68, reflect to some extent the wealth of musical impressions
surrounding us today. In an expressive manner unique to Rääts, the
composer has set his marginal observations in a stylistic
kaleidoscope ranging from baroque to rock.
Sonata op. 82 for two pianos is, in contrast, a piece of great breadth with clear neo-classical roots. The piece embodies all of the characteristics unique to Rääts music: high-keyed rhythm, fast pacing, obsessive and persistent repetition, alternating captivating lines and harmonies with moments of harsh and improvised dissonance.
