In order to generate some income whilst at work on his larger scores, Sibelius would often take time out to compose short pieces intended for a domestic audience. The collections of short pieces in this recording all originated in this way, and, although he was not instinctively a composer for the piano, the craft of the greatest of Finnish composers is evident in these very attractive miniatures.

"This latest issue in Håvard Gimse's survey lives up to the high expectation aroused by earlier issues in this series. He is a highly imaginative and sensitive player and is given excellent sound by the Naxos team." Penguin Guide Key recording
