  • Scaramouche and the Commedia Dell'arte
    Scaramouche Sibelius’s horror story Eija Kurki © Finnish National Opera and Ballet archives / Tenhovaara Scaramouche. Ballet in 3 scenes; libr. Paul [!] Knudsen; mus. Sibelius; ch. Emilie Walbom. Prod. 12 May 1922, Royal Dan. B., CopenhaGen. The b. tells of a demonic fiddler who seduces an aristocratic lady; afterwards she sees no alternative to killinG him, but she is so haunted by his melody that she dances herself to death. Sibelius composed this, his only b. score, in 1913. Later versions by Lemanis in Riga (1936), R. HiGhtower for de Cuevas B. (1951), and Irja Koskkinen [!] in Helsinki (1955). This is the description of Sibelius’s Scaramouche, Op. 71, in The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Ballet. Initially, however, Sibelius’s Scaramouche was not a ballet but a pantomime. It was completed in 1913, to a Danish text of the same name by Poul Knudsen, with the subtitle ‘Tragic Pantomime’. The title of the work refers to Italian theatre, to the commedia dell’arte Scaramuccia character. Although the title of the work is Scaramouche, its main character is the female dancing role Blondelaine. After Scaramouche was completed, it was then more or less forgotten until it was published five years later, whereupon plans for a performance were constantly being made until it was eventually premièred in 1922. Performances of Scaramouche have 1 attracted little attention, and also Sibelius’s music has remained unknown. It did not become more widely known until the 1990s, when the first full-length recording of this remarkable composition – lasting more than an hour – appeared. Previous research There is very little previous research on Sibelius’s Scaramouche.

  • Ilmari Krohn and the Early French Contacts of Finnish Musicology: Mobility, Networking and Interaction1 Helena Tyrväinen
    Ilmari Krohn and the Early French Contacts of Finnish Musicology: Mobility, Networking and Interaction1 Helena Tyrväinen Abstract Conceived in memory of the late Professor of Musicology of the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre Urve Lippus (1950–2015) and to honour her contribution to music history research, the article analyses transcultural relations and the role of cultural capitals in the discipline during its early phase in the uni- versity context. The focus is on the early French contacts of the founder of institutional Finnish musicology, the Uni- versity of Helsinki Professor Ilmari Krohn (1867–1960) and his pupils. The analysis of Krohn’s mobility, networking and interaction is based on his correspondence and documentation concerning his early congress journeys to London (1891) and to Paris (1900). Two French correspondents stand out in this early phase of his career as a musicologist: Julien Tiersot in the area of comparative research on traditional music, and Georges Houdard in the field of Gregorian chant and neume notation. By World War I Krohn was quite well-read in French-language musicology. Paris served him also as a base for international networking more generally. Accomplished musicians, Krohn and his musicology students Armas Launis, Leevi Madetoja and Toivo Haapanen even had an artistic bond with French repertoires. My results contradict the claim that early Finnish musicology was exclusively the domain of German influences. In an article dedicated to the memory of Urve Lip- Academy of Music and Theatre, Urve considered pus, who was for many years Professor of Musicol- that a knowledge of the music history of Finland, ogy and director of the discipline at the Estonian as well as of the origins of music history writing Academy of Music and Theatre, it is appropriate in this neighbouring country, would be useful to to discuss international cooperation, mobility of Estonians.

  • 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.
