Musician's or Publisher's Notes
Für Alina is considered an essential piano composition of Estonian composer Arvo Pärt in his tintinnabuli style, which was influenced by the composer's mystical experiences with chant music. Musically, Pärt's tintinnabular music is characterized by having two voices, the first of which (dubbed the "tintinnabular voice") arpeggiates the tonic triad, while the second voice moves diatonically in stepwise motion. The works often have a slow and meditative tempo, and a minimalist approach to both notation and performance.
