Sibelius, Jean Julius Christian
Finnish composer. His works include nationalistic symphonic poems such as En saga (1893) and Finlandia (1900), a violin concerto (1904), and seven symphonies. In 1940 he suddenly ceased composing and spent the rest of his life as a recluse. Restoration of many works to their original state has helped to remove his conservative image and reveal unexpectedly revolutionary features.
