Urtext based on the Complete Edition Jean Sibelius Works (JSW). Composed by Jean Sibelius (1865-1957). Edited by Anna Pulkkis. The violin was Sibelius's instrument, and the virtuoso aspect is eminent in Drei Stucke Op. 116 as well as in his entire oeuvre for violin and piano. Apart from that, Op. 116 provides a glimpse into the last active phase of Sibelius's care. Breitkopf and Haertel #EB-9341. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel
