This collection of sheet music by the great Finnish composer Jean Sibelius features 24 of his most enjoyable and influential pieces, all newly-arranged especially for this volume. The tonal innovations and idiosyncratic compositional style of this hugely prolific composer truly does illustrate the genuine Joy Of Sibelius. The pieces by Sibelius included in this collection exhibit the influences that he absorbed as well as his own stylistic developments. Sibelius' music was highly individual, finding influence in nature and poetry, as well as other composers such as Wagner, Bruckner and Tchaikovsky. Many of his most famous works are included here, featuring Danse Élégiaque, the 5 Morceaux Romantiques, Op.101 and the finale of his Symphony No.5, Op.82. Other pieces like selections from the 13 Morceaux, Impromptu, Op.78 No.1, Romance, Op.78 No.2, Suite Caractèristique, Op.100 and The Fiddler brilliantly encapsulate what makes Sibelius' compositions so wonderful. His tone poems, ideas about the thematic nature of symphonies and his musical contributions to the Finnish national identity have made him one of the most popular 20th century composers, with time and retrospect dismissing some contemporary critics' opinions of him. With 2015 coinciding with Sibelius' 150th birthday, now is the perfect time to discover one of the giants of symphonic music, or to rediscover a favourite of many pianists. The Joy Of... series is a constantly growing collection of musical editions that is now recognised and loved throughout the world. Originally compiled by the editorial hand of renowned teacher, arranger and musicologist Denes Agay, the series continues to reflect his influence and covers a wide variety of musical genres including the classics, folk, jazz, blues, ragtime and children’s music. New titles are constantly being added to an already extensive range, ensuring that The Joy Of... series continues to be a vital growing treasury of the world’s best music.

In the meantime, piano experts tend to confirm Glenn Gould's view that Sibelius made an important contribution to the slim piano repertoire of the late romantic period. With the anthology Jean Sibelius: Piano Pieces compiled for the Sibelius Year 2015 (150th birthday), the Finnish composer has finally made it into the ranks of the piano composers. Kari Kilpelainen and Anna Pulkkis, the editors of the Complete Edition, have selected the most important pieces from all creative periods.The altogether four volumes of the Sibelius Complete Edition impressively refute the composer's self-doubts about the significance of his piano works.
