  • i beg to differ, because of it's angularity it gives it shape. This is his masterwork. A real drama from beginning to finish, ending leaving you wondering where you are

  • Sibelius himself said that he had "plunged the very depths of his own soul" with this wonderfully earthy piece.

    The continual use of the augumented 4th interval in this 1st movement is remarkable. You'd think it would become "dated" after a while but he resolves the dischord in so many ways it works wonderfully. I like your phrase "darkly beautiful" - spot on!

  • Amazing song, kinda melencholic, but that's one of the things that make the song so beautiful

  • @23062001805616 You said it! Esa-Pekka Salonen is a

    fine conductor. And the music he conducted? Amazing!

  • @volk410

    We jazzers in hear that chord you mentioned not only as F#-7b5, but also can be heard as D dominant 9 with the root cancelled out. :) Play the same cadence but put a low D on the first chord and you've got a nice jazz cadence. Hahaha.

  • @mbbutler1s The darkest of greek modes. Locrian! Wow!
