Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) made his first sketches for material that would later find its way into Cassazione at the end of the 1890s; there are already hints of it among the sketches for the First Symphony, completed in 1899. He conducted the first performance of Cassazione as the opening number in a concert of his music held at the Helsinki University Hall on February 8, 1904. Described as ballad for orchestra, the work is structured in five episodes. Robert J. Ambrose's transcription for wind band is based on the original full symphony orchestra version (the full score published by Fennica Gehrman, ISMN 9790550112353). This transcription gives an opportunity to perform the work with smaller ensembles (down to 28 musicians) as well as full wind band. See the sample pages for instrumentation and performance notes.

The Divertimento Notturno is a three-movement Serenata or Cassazione, a popular genre in Austria during the 18th century and conceived as a musical entertainment. The quartet titled La Caccia (The Hunt), is one of the several string quartets that evoke hunting games, including Haydn Op. 1 No. 1 and Mozart Op. 10 No. 3. The last quartet of the collection, Il Giuocatore (the Gambler), depicts the excitement, despair and redemption after a heavy loss during a game of cards.
