Perhaps the name of the piece he played - "Memme musi" is worth a short commentary. Namely, "Memme musi" or "Mommy's kiss" is the heading of famous Estonian children story of a hare family of three sons. When their father was killed, the sons left home one by one. While the first two got some parts of their late father's armoury to take with, for youngest son there was no weapons left, so he only got his mother's kiss to support him. Still, he was proud of it and this invisible "weapon" gave him enough courage and caused fear in enemies so that he could overcome all the difficulties and rescue even his older brothers. Therefore, "Memme musi" has a meaning of motherly blessing when one leaves home that will help one to overcome any difficulties in life, and as it is probably the strongest support available in the world, it overcomes all the weapons. So it is a humble referral to childhood, while showing how carefully he has chosen the best available good-bye wish for students on their graduation day.

I have trouble to put into words what this man means to me. I’m not as spiritual as I once was, but to me when I hear his music and feel his presents I’m reminded of a power above human life. He’s like Father Christmas for real ! ❤️

it makes me cry... Greatness is the daughter of humility...

what a beautiful person

One sees true humility in him, and could only think of how a half of world population, if managing to have a half of this humility, would already make this world a paradise.

That little piano-piece is so unbelievably beautiful!

His face as he plays. What Love. He’s a special being

Magical Composer, magical human.
