  • The 1952 list superseded several earlier personal catalogues, the first of which dates to 1896.[14] For a detailed discussion of Sibelius's various personal catalogues, see Erik Tawaststjerna's Sibelius, Vol. III: 1914–1957, pp. 41–47,[15] as well as Fabian Dahlström's [fi] "Die Opuszahlen" in Jean Sibelius: Thematisch-bibliographisches Verzeichnis seiner Werke, which traces Sibelius's cataloguing changes both numerically by opus (pp. 680–687) and alphabetically by name of composition (pp. 687–692).[16]
  • The Jean Sibelius Works (JSW) critical edition has had three editors-in-chief, as follows: Fabian Dahlström [fi] (1996–2000), Glenda Dawn Goss (editor: 1998–2000; editor-in-chief: 2000–2004), and Timo Virtanen (acting editor-in-chief: 2004–2005; permanent editor-in-chief: 2006–present). In addition, Esko Häkli [fi] (chair of the editorial committee, 1996–2019), Kari Kilpeläinen (editor: 1996–2002 and 2005–2015), and Jukka Tiilikainen (editor: 1996–2003) were founding contributors.[42]
  • In addition, the Finnish labels Finlandia [fi] (which Warner Music acquired in 1994) and Ondine, as well as the budget label Naxos, have recorded not only Sibelius's orchestral works, but also the less well-known portions of his oeuvre, including his chamber works, songs, piano pieces, and choral music.[citation needed]
  • In 1896, Sibelius withdrew The Maiden in the Tower (for which a rehearsal score for soloists, mixed choir, and piano accompaniment is also extant), saying he wanted to revise it; he never did.[111] In the 2010s, a 12-minute, derivative concert overture for orchestra—marked by Sibelius and "hiding among the [original 1896] orchestral parts"—was "discovered" by Tuomas Hannikainen [fi]. It is not to be confused with the actual 3-minute overture of the opera.[citation needed]
  • Sibelius began working on the Marjatta oratorio in 1905, but soon abandoned his plans the same year, likely due to a waning enthusiasm for Finne's [fi] libretto (based on the Kalevala's biblically-inspired Runo L). Musicologists speculate that material from the oratorio eventually made its way into numerous compositions: 1906's 'Luonnotar' tone poem, which itself evolved into Pohjola's Daughter (Op. 49); 1907's Third Symphony (Op. 52); the second movement (Love Song) of 1912's Scènes historiques II (Op. 66); and, possibly, 1905's Not with Lamentation (Ej med klagan, JS 69), for mixed choir a cappella; 1909's In memoriam (Sibelius) (Op. 59); and 1922's Andante festivo (JS 34a).[141]
  • Sibelius wrote the Press Celebrations Music to raise money for the Press Pension Fund. (This purpose, however, served as a cover for the actual cause: to support a free Finnish press, which had suffered censorship under the Tsar's February Manifesto.) Sibelius's music introduced dramatic tableaux by Kaarlo Bergbom, with declaimed verses by Eino Leino and Jalmari Finne [fi]. Sibelius later arranged tableaux Nos. 1, 3, and 4 as Scènes historiques I (Op. 25) and tableau No. 6 as Finlandia (Op. 26).[196][197]
  • The Piano Trio in A minor, Hafträsk—Sibelius's second—is in four movements. Immediately upon its completion, he substantially revised the first movement; this revised version, however, is fragmentary, although the cello part is complete. The trio derives its nickname from the small village of Hafträsk (on Norrskata [fi], an island located in the Turku archipelago), at which the Sibelius family summered in 1886.[322]
  • In 1912, Sibelius composed The Bells of Kallio Church (JS 102) for the new building's September consecration. For this occasion, Heikki Klemetti made a choral arrangement of Sibelius's melody without the composer's blessing. Later in the year, Sibelius arranged his piece for solo piano, as well as for mixed choir a cappella (each is Op. 65b).[416]
  • In 1925, Sibelius composed four short vocal pieces for the Finnish choral conductor Heikki Klemetti [fi], who commissioned them for a volume of liturgical studies titled Suomen evankelisluterilaisen kirkon Messusävelmät (Mass Songs for the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland). The first piece, "Herran siunaus" ("The Lord's Blessing", JS 95), is a song for organ with a liturgist's text written over the music; this is to be sung by a baritone. For the remaining three pieces (JS 110/1–3), the baritone soloist and mixed choir serve, respectively, as the liturgist and the congregation. The JS 110 choral songs are known collectively as the Three Introductory Antiphons (Kolme johdantovuorolaulua).[828]
  • Sibelius and J.H. Erkko [fi] wrote the "Työkansan marssi" ("Worker's March", JS 212) for the Finnish workers' movement.[749]
  • Sibelius composed "Den 25 oktober 1902. Till Thérèse Hahl" (JS 60) for the 60th birthday of the Finnish choral singer Thérèse Hahl [fi]. Presumably to modify the disgruntled poet Nils Wasastjerna [fi], who had disliked the setting, Sibelius undertook a second attempt (JS 61). The two versions do not share thematic material and, as such, are treated as separate works.[776]
  • Sibelius composed the choral song "Kantat" ("Cantata") to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the girls' school [fi] in Turku at which his childhood friend Walter von Konow—the text's author—had taught history c. 1900.[215]
  • In 1927, Sibelius composed "Den höga himlen" ("The Lofty Heaven"; JS 58a) for the revised edition of the Swedish-language Finnish hymn book. The song can also be sung in Finnish as "Suur' olet Herra" (indeed, Simo Korpela's [fi] poem is originally in Finnish). In 1945, Sibelius arranged the Finnish original for male vocal quartet with organ accompaniment (JS 58b).[809]
  • Nothing is known about the lost work Snöfallet (The Snowfall, JS 175) other than the fact that Sibelius composed it in September 1927 as a gift for the Finnish industrialist Jacob von Julin [fi].[857]

  • In 1925, for the Royal Danish Theatre, Sibelius completed the incidental music to Shakespeare's The Tempest (JS 182, Danish-language translation by Edvard Lembcke [da]). In 1927, a production at the Finnish National Theatre used a Finnish-language translation by Paavo Cajander, and Sibelius took the opportunity to add the concluding Epilogue (No. 34b), based on an earlier work from 1904: Cassazione (Op. 6). Also in 1927, he derived two, nine-movement concert suites (Op. 109/2–3), as well as the stand-alone Prelude (Op. 109/1), from the incidental music; each is for orchestra and is without voices. In the same year, he also transcribed three numbers for solo piano as Episode (Miranda), Dance of the Nymphs, and Scène. Finally, in 1929, Sibelius revised No. 5—Canon—from the first orchestral suite; the 1927 of Canon version is extant.[130]
