Summary of This Sheet Music
With The Joy Of Sibelius, this collection highlights the unique writing of Jean Sibelius through 24 carefully selected and rearranged pieces for solo piano. It features pages where melody unfolds naturally, a personal harmony, and evocative colors inspired by nature and poetry-elements that have contributed to making Sibelius a major figure in the 20th-century repertoire.
The program alternates between brief, atmospheric pieces and more assertive excerpts, offering a true diversity of character. Among the essentials, the collection notably includes Danse élégiaque, pieces from the 13 Pieces, Op.76, the Impromptu and Romance from Op.78, the Characteristic Suite, Op.100, as well as highly appreciated pages by pianists such as Le Sapin. The highlight of the book, the adaptation of the Finale of Symphony No. 5, Op.82, allows pianists to approach the momentum and power of Sibelius's symphonic language at the piano.
Part of the The Joy Of... collection, this volume belongs to a series recognized for the quality of its selections and editorial approach, historically driven by the work of pedagogue, arranger, and musicologist Denes Agay. Whether you wish to (re)discover Sibelius or simply add a rich and inspiring piano sheet music collection to your library, this book is an excellent source of new musical ideas.
