The Spruce, Op.75, No. 5              Jean Sibelius

While Jean Sibelius is rightly remembered today for his orchestral output and for music such as Finlandia celebrating the Finnish national character, he did produce a significant body of work for piano.  The Spruce dates from 1914, and is one of the composer's most played and beloved pieces. It is the concluding piece in a set of five, all of which are named for trees.      Elisa Järvi
