Estonian Composers’ Union has organized the festival Estonian Music Days since 1979. Back then, Eino Tamberg said about the first festival to the journalists:

’In my opinion, the festival serves two objectives. Firstly, we wish to give an overview about Estonian music for our audience and guests. Their participation certainly contributes in distributing our music in case they find some of it interesting. Secondly, when we have listened to our music in so numerous performances, it helps ourselves to shape a better overview, what kind of positive sides our oeuvre has and where we have gaps. It is nice that the festival has also included music from previous periods, for example top works that have been performed undeservedly seldom. /-/ In the same time, these works can be considered as comparison material for evaluating the contemporary music. Planning the festival so extensively shows that we probably do have something to share in that kind of capacity.’
