Late romanticism for piano

Between 1895 and 1903 Jean Sibelius composed ten piano pieces that, following their first publication, were taken over by Breitkopf & Härtel and combined as Opus 24. This opus includes Sibeliuss most popular and often-played piano pieces in the style of nationalistic romanticism. The tuneful Romance is the ninth piece in the cycle and was composed in 1901 as a Christmas gift for one of the composers friends. The new edition takes over the music text published in volume V/1 of the complete edition of the Jean Sibelius Works, based in turn on a thorough comparison with the first print of 1902.
