In
1998, at the end of the
20th century, Breitkopf &
Hartel started the
publication of the
Complete Edition, which
is made possible thanks
to the cooperation of the
various Sibelius
publishers. The Editors
(Helsinki University
Library and The Sibelius
Society of Finland) and
the Editorial Committee
(Chairman: Timo Virtanen,
Helsinki) believe that
the volumes of JSW will
provide the basis for a
now conception of the
creative work of Jean
Sibelius.Reviews: One
immediately recognizes
the towering production
quality of these volumes
- a point that can be
extended to all volumes
thus far published in the
set. The music is a joy
to read; and the lucidity
and thoroughness of the
texts ... are models of
scholarly editions, and
should be required
reading for all
bibliography and
music-editing courses.
... In sum, the JSW is a
remarkable project: the
scholarship is
impeccable, the music
scores and texts are
simply a joy to study.
Edward Jurkowski, Notes
December 2011: 442-443At
the back of this
magnificent book are
pages of critical
commentary on a
bar-by-bar analysis of an
endless supply of musical
notation requiring
interpretation by the
editor. ... For the
general, non-musically
trained, purchaser of the
edition there is the
magisterial introduction
to read, and fascinating
reading it is. Edward W.
Clark, Sibelius Society
Newsletter 2009 The
Sibelius pieces, however,
are a revelation. I
opened this magnificently
produced volume -
complete with
multilingual critical
report and generous
facsimiles of original
manuscripts - expecting
Grieg-style
quasi-nationalistic
character pieces, and was
instead presented with an
incredible array of
styles, textures,
harmonic languages and
levels of difficulty.

2This is not only a
scholarly edition of one
of the composer's major
works, it is also a model
for the philological
editing of music in
general. ... JSW has
chosen to have the
emendations reflected in
two places, in certain
cases even in three: as
graphic indications in
the music text, in prose
form in the critical
commentary, and sometimes
also in the form of a
warning footnote on the
music page. There can be
no doubt that such a
procedure is very
user-friendly, but it
disturbs the appearance
of the music and may
mislead the user into
thinking that there are
two or more equally valid
readings. Niels Krabbe,

standards are high
throughout, and maintain
a careful balance between
the competing demands of
practical exigency and
the need to provide as
much scholarly evidence
of variants as possible.
The critical commentaries
provide concise and
effective descriptions of
the sources and, where
appropriate, information
on compositional genesis
and historical context.
The introduction to each
volume provide useful
background information on
historical reception,
including much new
material not previously
brought to light in

How do you
capture the spirit and
soul of a people? Grieg
has done just that, with
melodic beauty and
harmonic richness evoking
images of the Norwegian
way of life, and the
rugged splendor of the
countryside. Berceuse,
Elegy, and Halling,
reveal the composer's
deepest feelings. (5:00)
