Sibelius

Air blows through the music of Sibelius, quickens even the slightest of his compositions.

But Sibelius has written music that seems to come as the very answer to the call, and to be the North indeed.

But, in the presence of Sibelius, they seem only too evidently men of a gentler, later generation.

It is as if Sibelius had come upon himself, and so been able to rid his work of all superfluity and indecision.

It is possible that Sibelius will create another work similarly naked and intense.
