1 Of prime relevance to the scores reviewed here are two Lemminkäinen movements in Lemminkäinen Suite, Op. 22, in BIS-CD-1015 (1999); a third movement from the same suite on the recording Sibelius: Lemminkainen in Tuonela (1896 version), BIS-CD-1485 (2006); and Aallottaret on the disc titled Sibelius: Rondo of the Waves, BIS-CD-1445 (2003).

2 Upon closer inspection, this period is not as completely silent as conventional wisdom has it; Fabian Dahlström accounts for approximately 30 small works written in this time, in addition to about 21 new arrangements and orchestrations of previous works, and Sibelius is thought to have expended a great deal of time and effort on an ill-fated Eighth Symphony.

10 The title Tuonela joutsen appears in Finnish and Swedish, and also in German and French as part of the texts from first editions of Lemminkäinen listed in the Appendix, but to find an English translation, one must turn to the other volume reviewed here, I/16, which happens to mention the piece in connection with the premiere of Aallottaret (1/16, p. IX).
