STUDIA MUSICA 26 / SIBELIUS ACADEMY / \ © Timo Virtanen and Sibelius Academy 2005 Cover and layout: Arto Sivonen ISBN 952-5531-19-8 ISSN 0788-3757 Hakapaino Oy, Helsinki 2005 iii SIBELIUS ACADEMY Department of Composition and Music Theo ry Studia Musica No. 26, 2005 Virtanen, Timo Jean Sibelius, Symphony No. 3: Manuscript Study and Analysis ABSTRACT This study is divided into two parts. In the firstpart, the compositional process ofJean Sibelius's Third Symphony is discussed from the perspective of manuscript study. This study has revealed that the compositional process was long and intricate, and several works, completed either beforeor even years after the Symphony, were intermingled in the process. At the beginning of the compositional work, Sibelius does not seem to have had a clear idea of the Symphony or its movements as a whole. Nothing in the manuscripts indicates that he was intentionally building up broad passages and sections from small motives. On the contrary, Sibelius seems to have constructed the work by bringing together ideas which he had written in his sketch collections over many years and which originally did not share common roots. His central task seems to have been to build up a unified whole of the separate and originally rather fragmentary elements. Sibelius's manuscripts reveal that the composer made unsuccessfulattempts to combine different ideas before he finally arrived at combinations which he foundacceptable. The manuscript study, together with some observations presented in literature earlier and future research, may clarify the picture of Sibelius's composing strategy, which the composer himself referred to as creating a picture fromfragments of a mosaic. The second part of the study presents an analytical view focusing on questions of harmony and voice­ leading structure, and form discussed from the perspective of Schenkerian theory, while che thematic and other aspects having to do with the formal design are of more marginal interest here. Although the form of the Third has often been described as the most classical of ali Sibelius symphonies, many passages in the work have been regarded as problematic, or even unanalysable. The apparent "classical" clarity of the music may be a result of certain features of the thematic disposition, whilst a study of the interaction between tonal structure and formal design in the work may open up new perspectives on the questions of form. Since Sibelius's music stylistically is situated between the classic-romantic tonal tradition and the new trends of the early 20th century, the applicability of the Schenkerian approach forms a central methodological question. In order to understand the characteristics of the tonal structure in Sibelius's music and the ways of departing fromthe tonality of the common-practice period in Sibelius's works, the particular features in his music have to be mirrored against the background of tonal conventions. Schenkerian theory opens up a possibility to elucidate these relations. The Epilogue sheds light on the possible programmatic background of Sibelius's Third Symphony. In 1905 Sibelius was planning an oratorio on a libretto written by Jalmari Finne and based on the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala,and some characteristics of the Symphony display interesting parallels with the oratorio libretto. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS During the preparation of this book I have felt myself privileged to have received so much advice and feedback fromso many colleagues, and outstanding Sibelius experts. I would like to thank my supervisors, Prof. LauriSuurpää forhis exhaustive and accurate reading of my text at various stages, and Prof. Veijo Murtomäki and Prof. Ilkka Oramo for their valuable comments and suggestions. I also would like to thank my fellow scholars in the post-graduate seminars, especially Mr. Juhani Alesaro and Mr. Risto Väisänen for the many interesting discussions. I owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Väisänen for also having been my teacher. His profoundinsight into different fields of music and research has been a very important source of motivation during my years of study. I am also grateful to him for guiding me to study Sibelius's music and his manuscripts. I would like to thank my colleagues in theSibelius critical edition project, Dr. Kari Kilpeläinen for his incisive comments and suggestions concerning the manuscript study, and Mr. Jukka Tiilikainen and Mrs. Tuija Wicklund for the many inspiring discussions concerning Sibelius's manuscripts. Also linked with the project as the first editor-in-chief, Prof. Fabian Dahlström has provided me with important informationconcerning the variousSibelius sources. The credit for the discovery of the "Marjatta" fragments and references to the oratorio in correspondence by Sibelius and others belongs to Mr. Markku Hartikainen, whom I would like to thank forhelping me to find the relevant sources and for the exhilarating conversations about the "Marjatta." I am grateful to Prof. James Hepokoski and Prof. Joseph C. Kraus for commenting on the manuscript of this book in detail. I had an opportunity to discuss my analysis with Prof. Edward Laufer, the meetings with whom I remember with gratitude. Prof. Jim Samson and Prof. Tomi Mäkelä became acquainted with some chapters of this study and their views were received with thanks. The language in this book was checked by Prof. Glenda Dawn Goss, who also made useful comments concerning the content of the book, and Mr. Keith Bosley, whose expertise in the fieldof the Kalevala opened new perspectives. Many thanks also to Mr. Andrew Lightfootfor a finalcheck of some parts of the text. I would like to thank archivist Petri Tuovinen (Helsinki University Library), who has helped me a lot with Sibelius manuscripts, and Mr. Bernd Schuff(Archives ofRobert Lienau Musikverlag, Frankfurt) for collecting information about the Third Symphony materials. I am also grateful to Mr. Arto Sivonen forplanning the visual design of the book. The owners ofSibelius's rights kindly gave me permission to include manuscript facsimilesin my book. My research and the publication of this book were supported financially by the Emil Aaltonen Foundation, the Finnish Academy, and the Sibelius Academy Foundation. ln conclusion I would like to thank my dear wife Leena and my two wonderful sons, Lassi and Olli. Theyali patiently accompanied me during the years of the preparation of this study. I dedicate this book to the memory of my father, Erkki Virtanen (1920-2000).

    NORTHERN STARS MUSIC FROM THE NORDIC AND BALTIC REGIONS NAXOS • MARCO POLO • ONDINE • PROPRIUS • SWEDISH SOCIETY • DACAPO Northern Stars Often inspired by folk tradition, nature, landscape and a potent spirit of independence, the music of Scandinavia, Finland and the Baltic states is distinctive and varied, with each country’s music influenced by its neighbours, yet shaped and coloured by its individual heritage. Traveling composers such as Sweden’s Joseph Kraus introduced 18th and early 19th century classical trends from Germany and Italy, but with national identity gaining increasing importance as Romantic ideals took hold, influential and distinctive creative lines were soon established. The muscular strength of Carl Nielsen’s symphonies grew out of the Danish nationalist vigor shown by Friedrich Kuhlau and Niels Gade, extending to names such as Per Nørgård today. Gade was a teacher of Edvard Grieg, who owes his position as Norway’s leading composer, at least in part, to the country’s traditional folk music and the poignant lyricism of the Hardanger fiddle. The music of Finland is dominated by the rugged symphonies of Jean Sibelius, and his Finlandia ensured his status as an enduring national symbol. Sibelius successfully combined the lessons of Viennese romanticism with a strong Nordic character, and this pragmatic approach has generated numerous contemporary giants such as Aus Sallinen, Einojuhani Rautavaara, Kalevi Aho and Kaija Saariaho. Turbulent history in the Baltic States partially explains a conspicuous individualism amongst the region’s composers, few more so than with Arvo Pärt, whose work distils the strong Estonian vocal tradition into music of striking intensity and crystalline beauty.

Ensimmäinen versio ilmestyi jo vuonna 1989 tilanteessa, jossa kansallissäveltäjämme tuotannon perusteellinen tutkimus ja kunnollisen teosluettelon valmistaminen oli paradoksaalisesti vasta käynnistynyt. Ohje- luetteloa kootessani tiesin monien asioiden tulevaisuudessa muuttuvan, mutta perusluettelon tarvetta ei voinut kiistää. Kun toinen, korjattu painos vuonna 1996 ilmestyi, ratkaiseva askel tutkimuspuo- lella oli jo otettu. Fabian Dahlström oli saanut teosluettelonsa niin pitkälle, että oli kyennyt nume- roimaan opusnumerottomat teokset JS-koodilla. Tämä oli jo riittävä syy uuden laitoksen valmista- miseen, mutta samalla päästiin korjaamaan lukuisia virheitä ja epäjohdonmukaisia

His family was Swedish-speaking, but he attended a Finnish- speaking secondary school and became acquainted with the mythology of the Kalevala and with Finnish-language literature. He studied at the Helsinki Music Institute and went on to study in Berlin and Vienna. Sibelius’s works from the 1890s are very Finnish in tone, but during the first decade of the 20th century he began to turn towards a more international and classical idiom. In recognition of his importance as a national cultural figure, he was granted a small government pension, although this was more of symbolic importance than a significant contribution to his income.

  • Poika, Jolla Oli Sammalta Taskussa J
    Poika, jolla oli sammalta taskussa Jean Sibelius, Hämeenlinnasta Jean Sibelius. Johan Christian Julius Sibelius. Sibbe. Sibba. Ensimmäiset 20 vuotta ihan Janne vain. Mies, joka parikymppisenä otti itselleen taiteilijanimen merikapteenisetänsä käyntikortista. Lääkärinpoika. Lukutoukka. Viulisti. Kasvien keräilijä. Metsästäjä. Maailmanmatkaaja. Sikarimies. Mies, joka sävelsi Finlandian, Valse tristen – ja erinäisiä satoja muita teoksia. Millainen kuva tulee ensimmäisenä mieleen? Eiköhän se ole tämä: arvokas kaljupää, jolla on otsassa pystyrypyt. Mitä ennen pystyryppyjä tapahtui? Mistä ne kaivertuivat? Tämän vihkosen anti on pisara siitä, mitä kaikkea Jean Sibelius oli ja mitä hänen syntymänsä 150-vuotisjuhlavuonna 2015 tapahtuu. Tarkoitus on tarjota esimerkkejä siitä, millainen ihminen piili ryöppyävän musiikin takana: oikukas, huumorintajuinen, kohtelias, juhlia rakastava, rauhaa kaipaava. Ja kaikkein sisimpänä: hämeenlinnalainen lapsi, jolla oli hyvin vilkas mielikuvitus. J Jäävuoren huiput Pysäytä satunnainen vastaantulija missä päin maailmaa tahansa. Mainitse Jean Sibeliuksen nimi. Kysy, mitä hän sävelsi. On mahdollista ja jopa todennäköistä, että vastaus tulee ja että se on oikein. Finlandia. Valse triste. Karelia-sarja. Jo nämä riittäisivät yhden miehen elämäntyöksi. Sibelius oli aikansa supertähti. Valse tristen nuotti levisi 1900-luvun alussa kulovalkeana ympäri maailmaa. Se oli aikanaan maailman toiseksi eniten myyty nuotti – heti White Christmasin jälkeen. Arvid Järnefeltin Kuolema-näytelmään sävelletty kappale syntyi tarinan mukaan
