This open ending could lead on to Joaquin Rodrigo's "Sonada de Adios" which have some of the same misterious feeling, though in the Spanish way... Give it a try :-) (unfortunately no good versions on youtube)
Hey DarkRaimundo...which CD/album is this off of? I love solo piano performances and I really love Sibelius...so this is something I'd like to get a hold of.
seems he borrowed the first few chord progressions from Muse's Take a Bow off their record Black Holes and Revelations. It's good to see musical quotation even among some actual classical composers.
Am I misunderstanding your comment or are you saying that Jean Sibelius, after listening to Muse's song, decided to borrow Muse's chord progression and put it in this piece?
@Hamgammy You better be fucking joking or you're a complete tool. Jean Sibelius 8 December 1865 – 20 September 1957. Look at the fucking dates he was alive. Retard or obvious troll is obvious.
I have listen this track like 50 times. Every time is an acknowledgment. When I heard the principal phrase, I feel automatically transported to fountains of crystal water, caress by majesty of nature, plenty of hope. Simply magnificent. Je te adore Sibelius!!
Oh how I LOVE SIbelius music! Whenever I discover something of his that is new to me, I am NEVER disappointed! My 3 top SIbelius pieces though are Symphony No 2, Symphony No 5 (especially the finale) and, best of all, Spring Song. Just BEYOOOTIFUL!
Although I'm familar with and love Sibelius' orchestral music I've never bothered listening to any of his piano pieces as I once read that they were mostly written for money. This may well be true however it's hard to believe that this piece was which is quite wonderful. Thank you for uploading it.
So was this originally written for piano and then someone arranged it for string ensembles? Because my orchestra played this once. I really like both arrangements.
This is an extremely beautiful work, I love how Sibelius is able to conjure up the essence of nature and life in his music. It's of a kind that's hard to conceive of it as being 'composed'.
Sibelius is defenitly one of my favourite composers, next to grieg, pärt, holopainen and shore, and i love many of his works. This is of cause a very beautifull one. He was such an amazing composer, and i´m depressed everytime when i think about his 8th symphony, he destroyed. I bet on everything it were a good one. thx for posting
I agre with you . He is one of my top 5 composers. I adore ALL his symphonies, each one is excepcional. And his tone poems are amazing too. I think that his 8th symphony would have been a masterpiece, but he burned it..sadly..
that comes, if composers think, that they´re not more good. They think their best time is over and they never could make GOOD music. They imagine, it is only in their heads, that happens if you think, you have to do it perfectly and your inspiration is gone. Thats why sibelius ended with composing thirty years before he died. That happens to genies, when they are at their end...sad^^
I heard many good things about this composer but I have never heard his works.I like this piece and I am glad to hear music from composers who I do not know very well.
Jean Sibelius for short, his real name Genius Sibelius.

I'm a recent, but still big fan of Sibelius. I don't know if it's just me, but I hear some definite echoes of his Op. 26 Finlandia in this piece.
