Sibelius - 6 Impromptus, Op. 5 

I believe Sibelius is the absolute master of simplicity, it's never too much and never too little.

Sibelius is one of the great composers of the Romantic era. Listening to the works you experience pleasant emotions. The impromtu's are very beautiful. I especially liked the fifth, also B minor is my favorite key. I am a pianist and I think that all Impromptu 's are beautiful. I believe that I will somehow play all of them myself. 😊

I love this set. It's so quietly unapologetic. "I'm just music and I'm content with that"

V and VI are my favorites.

Délicieuses Pieces Folkloriques 🙏🙏🙏

there's a really free but reserved usage of dissonance in these pieces I feel. on one hand dissonances are often unprepared, have no resolution, even sometimes function as resting or pedal harmonies, but are used relatively sparingly. very serene and interesting effect, almost bit satie-esque in my opinion (especially in the last three). also the phrases, melodies and the voiceleading in the harmonic accompaniment are often kind of blocky and unintuitive. all of that makes for a really intimate, kind of novel and weird impression. Im not entirely sure if I like it that much stylistically, but it is definitely very interesting!

amazing. sounds like slavic music

This first one could be in the hunger games movies

Nice.

Nr. 3, in a minor is great.

Sibelius creates a world of Finnish dances, folk songs and spirits. A musical place unto itself, similar, yet distinctively seperate from its Viking and Slavic neighbors.

Guys i have a question? What Jean Sibelius composition fits perfectly with Dostoevskys book crime and punishment?

they’re all sort of the same theme

Sibelius is a great composer. These compositions, including #5 are not elements of his greatness. Only a Finn would understand why he had to compose these odd pieces. They have great didactic value but no one wants to hear them.

Thanks for posting but this composer's overrated to me
