Spiegel im Spiegel is a piece of music written by Arvo Pärt in 1978, just prior to him leaving Estonia. The piece is in the tintinnabular style of composition, wherin a melodic voice (which operates over diatonic scales) and tintinnabular voice (which operate within a tonic triad) accompany each other.
The piece was originally written for a single piano and violin - though the violin has often been replaced with either a cello or a viola. The piece is musically minimal - yet produces a serene tranquility.
