His signed autograph letter in Swedish to a director (1910).
Autograpy Letter signed: "Jean Sibelius" in Swedish, 1 page, 5¼x7¾.
Dated 1910 September 18. Written to a Director, untranslated. The son of
a surgeon, Finnish composer Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) studied law before
devoting his life to music. He composed the bulk of his work between 1980 and
1930, during which time he wrote eight symphonies. Sibelius destroyed the
last before publication, but the prior seven reveal a wide range of approach in
his search for a true symphonic form. His noted works include Kullervo
Symphony, Opus 7 (1892), En Saga (1892), the Seventh Symphony
(1924) and Tapiola (1926), and Sibelius was also known for his tone
poems, including En Saga (1892) and Finlandia (1900), on national
subjects. Matted with a photograph, b/w, 6¾ x9¾. Overall
size, 18x11. Fine condition. Matted, not in Gallery of History style.
