For me, "Pari Intervallo" is also a highlight. It's very simple in conception, just like his other works, and uses the tintinnabulli style in a slow canon with (as the title says) fixed intervals very effectively. It wasn't composed for a particular instrument. I like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjUBhXi-0aY

"Für Alina", same style, written for piano, here with score: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvXy69eF__Y, so you can see how simple it really is. Don't believe that simplicity is all there is to it, though. There are many composers of "simple" music nowadays, and most, like Einaudi, produce nothing but trite musical wall paper.

It wasn't mentioned in the article, but I think it's fair to say that Pärt has brought a small revolution to (classical) music.

I mostly agree but for the needless swipe at Einaudi. He writes popular classical, but I don't feel its trite, and has led more than a few people to classical in a wider sense.

I personally find some of his compositions quite moving, and have seen him live before (and will see him again at the Royal Albert Hall next Spring), and I'll also be at the late night prom in celebration of Pärt this week, also at the Royal Albert Hall.

But then, I can listen to Tallis and Metallica, I've got a wide taste. Perhaps I just have a broader palate than most, but I don't see any reason to be a snob about one genre, musician or composer over another...
