Jean Sibelius was part of a wave of composers who accepted the norms of late 19th Century composition, but sought to radically simplify the internal construction of the music.
Sibelius built much of his music with melodies that have very powerful modal implications, and that are drawn out over a number of notes.
Sibelius (as reported in the Manchester Guardian newspaper in 1958) summed up the style of his later works by saying that while other composers were engaged in manufacturing cocktails, he offered the public pure cold water.
Sibelius, who only a month before had noted in his diary that he was hammering away at the first movement of his symphony, could now promise no more than that he would return to the matter at a later date.
According to the receipts, Sibelius bought some music paper from Westerlund's the music shop in January 1933 and spring 1935 and he is not known to have composed or arranged anything between 1931 and 1938 apart from the 8th symphony and a minor choral arrangement in autumn 1935.
Sibelius nevertheless kept this a secret and led people to understand even as late as the 1950s that it was still maturing.
