Sibelius, Jean. (1865-1957)

Valse triste aus der Musik zu Arvid Järnefelt's Drama "Kuolema." Op. 44

Leipzig: Breitkopf & Härtel. 1904. First edition of the piano solo version. Für Pianoforte zu 2 Händen. Title; 2 - 7 pp. [PN] 2224. In original green printed wrappers, early ownership signatures on wrapper, scattered small tears to edges, overall very good.

Originally part of the incidental music Sibelius composed for his brother-in-law, Arvid Järnefelt's 1903 play "Kuolema" (Death), it is far better known as a separate concert work and remains one of Sibelius's signature pieces. (5269)
