Among the
best of Jean Sibelius'
oeuvre are his 1917
compositions The
Humoresques. This
fabulous and charming
concerto was divided into
two groups for
publication, Opus 87 and
Opus 89, and demonstrates
his sublime skill with
the Violin. He uses a
considerably smaller
Orchestra accompaniment
to the Violin in the
second group but
maintains the subtlety of
depth and texture. Though
there are traditional
elements to all parts of
this opus, Humoresque No.
4 harks back to the past
the most, reminiscent of
the delicacy of
mid-nineteenth century
musical miniatures.
Virtuosic and
challenging, the soloist
has the opportunity to
indulge in a more
traditionally
exhibitionistic display.
