Additional Reading

Robert Layton, Sibelius, 2nd ed. (1978, reissued 1983), contains a short biography and a detailed analysis of Sibelius’ music. Erik Tawaststjerna, Sibelius (1976– ), is based on hitherto unpublished material, correspondence, and diaries; it is likely to remain the definitive study of the composer.
