Very lovely work tiad~worthy of the great man himself.

You are correct,sir,in that the piece is only two pages.The rhythms,however,are open for interpretation by the performer.Though it seems simple to play,it is very difficult to perform and portray the emotions that Pärt wanted conveyed.Anyone can plunk out notes and simple intervals on the piano,but it takes a true artist to take the notes that Pärt has provided and make the listener feel struggle,pain,peace,love,somet

This music gets me silent, unwilling to do anything else but listen. But it makes me sad to, not necessary in a good way. Bittersweet I think.

@MrCrazyAlligator Even after being repeated the song is such a masterpiece, the listener doesn't even notice it is being repeated. He / she's pretty much lost in the silence. Thanks for replying :)

@railpressureflip The sheetmusic for this work is just 2 pages long. It's also extremely simple; literally anyone who can read sheetmusic can play this. So no, it's not improvised. The same two pages are being played over and over again by the way. The entire work is barely over a minute long. In this recording, it's repeated about eight times, each time a little different.
Of course I am not belittling this work. Anyone can play it, but that's not the point.
