Kristi Mühling- kannel.
Mirjam Tally (1976) is one of the younger generation´s most exceptional composers in Estonia. Her music is full of playful contrasts and combines the witty, dramatic and poetic use of sound. "Structures" was comissioned by the kannel player Kristi Mühling, which incited the composer´s fascination with the kannel as an instrument.
