Jean Sibelius Knihy

Finland's greatest composer and a major figure in the development of Scandinavian music, Jean Sibelius (1865–1957) is revered in Western music for his mastery of symphonic forms and orchestral scoring. Sibelius' first two symphonies remain among his most accessible and popular.

Full orchestral scores of Finlandia, Valse Triste, The Swan of Tuonela, Lemminkainen's Return, En Saga, Pohjola's Daughter, Night Ride and Sunrise, and The Oceanides.

This volume contains the original full scores of three of the most popular modern violin concertos. Included are Sibelius's Violin Concerto in D Minor, Op. 47 — among the most played and recorded of all violin concertos; Elgar's Violin Concerto in B Minor, Op. 61, a ravishing combination of bravura and sweetness; and Glazunov's Violin Concerto in A Minor, Op. 82, a masterpiece of lyricism and virtuosity that is considered one of the composer's finest works.Reproduced from authoritative European and Russian editions, all three scores are now available in this inexpensive one-volume score, enabling musicians and music lovers to study and enjoy three classics of the violin repertoire.
