Jean Sibelius (1865-1957)
"Swanwhite" is a play by August Strindberg for which Sibelius wrote the music in 1904.
For Strindberg's symbolic tale in which evil, represented by a wicked stepmother, is vanquished by the good Princess Swanwhite, Sibelius composed fourteen numbers from which he subsequently compiled a concerto suite in seven movements.
