The score of the original four-movement version of Sibelius’s Fifth Symphony has been published for the first time in Breitkopf & Härtel’s ongoing JSW Complete Works critical edition.

Sibelius completed his Fifth Symphony for the concert arranged to celebrate his 50th birthday on 8 December 1915. The reception of the symphony was very positive, but nonetheless Sibelius revised the work twice: first for a concert arranged in Turku exactly one year later, and then again in 1918–19. The present volume contains the 1915 version. The autograph score of the version is lost, but the orchestral parts survive and the score in this volume has been reconstructed from the parts.

The volume is edited by JSW editor-in-chief Timo Virtanen.
