- Summary:
- In this translation of his 2007 study in German of Sibelius (1865-1957), Finnish scholar Mäkelä (music, Martin Luther U. of Halle-Wittenberg, Germany) situates his music in the context of his biography and Finnish history and culture. Probing the issue of whether his music is more reflective of a unique Nordic national identity or his personality, this authority on Finnish music discusses his influences, work in various forms, and critiques of his music and reception in German-speaking countries in the 1930s. The book includes a historical-cultural chronology, Sibelius' family tree, catalog of his works, musical notes, an index of his works, bibliography, and photographs.
