Summary:

The piano music of Jean Sibelius (1865-1958) never achieved the degree of recognition accorded to the composer's symphonic works. Nevertheless, Finland's greatest composer created richly imaginative and strikingly individualistic works for keyboard, drawing upon the wealth of folkloric traditions associated with his native land. This collection features a carefully chosen selection of these unjustly neglected compositions for piano, including Sonata in F, Op. 12; Three Sonatinas, Op. 67; Kyllikki (Three Lyric Pieces), Op. 41; Two Rondinos, Op. 68; Five Flower Pieces, Op. 88; Romance in D-flat; and many more. Pianists and musicians are sure to welcome this unique compilation of the best of Sibelius' piano music in one convenient, inexpensive volume.
