Sibelius wrote very little for the cello, although some of his violin pieces allow alternative instrumentation. Some of his songs and piano pieces, and the popular Finlandia, are here given in effective arrangements for cello and piano, in addition to the original cello fantasia Malinconia, perhaps inspired by the death of his infant daughter.
