The Sonata op. 12 is the largest of Sibeliuss piano works. Sibelius may have composed it in the summer of 1893. The second movement comes from a work originally planned for male choir to a text from the Finnisch national epic Kalevala. Something of its character my still have shaped the final outcome, with its restless opening bars, sparkling writing in the pianos high register, the calming homophonic passages, and soothing arpeggio writing. The first public performance took place on April 17, 1895, in the Solennity Hall of Helsinki University. The first edition was published by Breitkopf & Hartel in 1906. Over and beyond the excellent music text, this volumes contains an extensive preface by Sibelius expert Kari Kilpelainen.

An indispensable tool: the Sibelius Work CatalogueEver since Kari Kilpelainen came out with his Sibelius Source Catalogue (1991), the scholarly world has been impatiently waiting for a comprehensive systematic catalogue of Jean Sibelius's works. The ideal specialist for this task had already been found: Fabian Dahlstrom, a distinguished expert on Sibelius and the editorial director of the Sibelius Complete Edition until 2002. The rapid development in Sibelius research over the past years and the accessibility of previously untapped sources (letters, diaries, etc.) aided Dahlstrom in his work. The Preface and Introduction to the volume are printed in three languages (German / English / Finnish) in order to do justice to the truly international scope of the catalogue. Detailed indexes provide the user with a variety of ways to explore the works of Jean Sibelius.

The Piano music of Jean Sibelius ranks among the greatest of Finnish music, and his 1924 set Five Characteristic Impressions demonstrates his importance, particularly in the field of Tone Poems. The fifth piece of this set, In Mournful Mood is a slower piece than the others, but is moving nonetheless. It is an impressionist piece that expresses imagery of reality with fabulous tonality and colour.

Jean Sibelius' Opus 78 is characterised by its sheer musicality and design for home study. The set closes with an agile study called Rigaudon, a lively and testing piece which is a real challenge for an amateur violinist but one which they will enjoy immensely! The title mirrors an eighteenth-century Gavotte-like French dance and with rapid arpeggios and stuttering pizzicato creates this powerful sense of urgency and rhythm.
