Is this one legit? Once Steve Post played some baroque-style tunes as supposed precursors to much later ones before eventually revealing they were pastiches by a certain group. Yes, I was willing to believe "Erie Canal" had been ripped off from a centuries-old one. Heck, when I first heard Songs for Ice Cream Trucks, I was willing to believe the Mr. Softee jingle was similarly adapted, and the DJ here (I forgot who) wasn't even trying to pass it off that way, I just missed the intro.

I was turned on to Sibelius only last year at ScanFest, the annual Scandinavian festival at Vasa Park. The pianist explained a lot about the revolutionary surroundings of his compositions. Lot of Scandinavian descendants here in NW NJ.

Naively, I'd say "sonata" just means "sounded" or "sung". So if it makes sound, it's eligible to be called a sonata, right?

"On the night of 15 Sept. 1945, Webern was outside smoking when he was shot and killed by a US soldier in an apparent accident. He had been following Thomas Mann's work, which the Nazis had burned, noting in 1944 that Mann had finished Joseph and His Brothers. In his last notebook entry, Webern quoted Rainer Maria Rilke: 'Who speaks of victory? To endure is everything.'"
