Lilly Classical Series • Program Notes compared to Tchaikovsky. The first theme (marked con forza) opens loudly with strings and brass in a broad chordal statement. Everything is directed toward power and triumph. Amid the bravura, Sibelius suddenly summons the oboe to introduce a small second idea, written in memory of Ellen Järnefelt (Sibelius’ sister-in-law) who committed suicide. This
remembrance is short, and the exposition is finally sealed with brass fanfare. The development begins quietly, focusing on elements of the opening idea. Again, the composer is deconstructing and rebuilding into larger and larger dimensions. In the final measures, trumpets and the entire brass choir produce a transformed version of the main idea at the majestic conclusion.
