Sibelius in the Old and New World : Aspects of His Music, Its Interpretation, and Reception (New ed)

The book contains twenty-two essays on Sibelius, written by scholars from seven countries across the Atlantic.

Most of the articles were originally papers read at the Fourth International Jean Sibelius Conference, held in January 2005 at the University of North Texas, in Denton.

The book is divided into four sections: Historical and Cultural Studies, Analytical Studies, Source Studies, Reception and Interpretation.

The chapters in this book reflect, in their contents and standpoints, the different musicological and music analytical trends current in Europe and the North America; they thereby offer a compelling cross-section of the manifold approaches to Sibelius studies.
