Maris Kirme: Estonian musical legacy buried in neglected lib

Maris Kirme, a musicologist, writes that authentic sheet music for early Estonian composers of the 19th and 20th centuries is very hard to find, with fewer and fewer musicians willing to accept an illegible manuscript or a fraudulent copy. She suggests establishing an Estonian music institute with a permanent research team dedicated to unearthing and promoting the buried gems of Estonia's musical heritage.
