  • Gräsbeck 2017.5236 Words
    Which of Sibelius’s 379 miniatures are remarkable? Folke Gräsbeck "Auch kleine Dinge können uns entzücken…" (Paul Heyse) Reckoning that Sibelius’s compositions amount to circa 600 separate pieces (youth works included, fragments omitted), we have to consider that roughly more than half of them are miniatures. I have calculated that nearly 380 original, separate pieces last less than 4 minutes. If we reject only Sibelius’s miniatures, we omit practically half his production. ‘I am a man of the orchestra᾿, Sibelius proclaimed. Needless to say, his successful orchestral works, generally regarded as national monuments in Finland, are impressive frescos; nonetheless, these large-scale pieces are full of carefully elaborated details. What about the painstakingly worked-out details in his small works? Do they lack credibility because they are included in miniatures? Sibelius ‘forged᾿ the motifs and melodies in the small pieces no less carefully, sometimes referring to his miniatures as his ‘suffering pieces᾿ or 'pain pieces'[1]. Probably he would not have referred to them in this way if he had not valued them highly. The designation ‘salon piece’ is clumsy as applied to Sibelius’s miniatures. Very few of them were purposely composed as standard salon music – they are all too refined and abstract, and lack the lax and redundant reiterations so typical of such pieces. Perhaps the Valse lyrique, Op. 96a, approaches a real salon piece, but the material soars far above standard salon vocabulary, the lyrical sections, for example, revealing remarkable intimacy and character. Nowadays, it is common to employ the designation ‘Salon music’ in a pejorative sense.
