Cornelius Meister's Sibelius at the Vienna Musikverein doesn't quite take flight

Caitlin Smith, 5th March

Jean Sibelius is purported to have written part of his Symphony no. 5 after having witnessed a large flock of swans take flight from his home in rural Finland. Whether this story is apocryphal or not, the “swan theme” has become part of the Western musical subconscious, with quotations showing up in jazz and pop music for much of the last century.
