Description
Jean Sibelius (8 December 1865 – 20 September 1957) was a Finnish composer of the late Romantic period. His music played an important role in the formation of the Finnish national identity.
Sibelius has fallen in and out of fashion, but remains one of the most popular 20th century symphonists, both in the concert hall and on record. Sibelius had spent much time producing profitable chamber music for home use, salon music, occasional works for the stage and other incidental music, all of which has now been systematically recorded on BIS Records’ complete Sibelius Edition.
Here we have a short Romanze in D-flat major from Sibelius’ 10 Pieces and although small, contains all the characteristics and symbolism that is associated with Sibelius. Suitable for Grades 4 and up.
