sibelius (1865-1957) was born in Tawahus, Finland. Father is a doctor. I began to learn piano at the age of five. I tried to compose music at the age of 11, studied violin at the age of 15, taught myself composition at the age of 16 and was keen on composing chamber music. Sibelius (1865 ~ 1957) entered the law department of Helsinki University at the age of 2 according to his family's wishes. At the same time, he took composition and violin as elective courses at Helsinki Conservatory of Music, and studied music theory under the guidance of M. Vegelius, the dean of the Conservatory of Music. At the age of 21, he dropped out of Helsinki University and transferred to Helsinki Conservatory of Music to specialize in violin. Later, I failed to participate in the violin competition during my studies, so I specialized in composing music. After graduating from the Conservatory of Music in 1889, he won a scholarship and went to Berlin and Vienna to study. He returned to China as a professor at his alma mater in 1891.

At the end of the 19th century, Finland was under the rule of Russian czar, and the struggle of Finnish people against the rule of czar Russia was extremely sharp, and the national liberation movement was rising day by day. Under the situation of rising national consciousness, a strong ideological trend of revitalizing national culture has been formed in literature and art. Under the influence of this trend of thought, sibelius wrote the symphonic poem Culer Wo with vocal music in 1892 based on the 5-volume Finnish national epic Ka Laivaara, which became famous in the world. From 1893 to 1895, based on Ka Laivaara, he composed the legendary Le Minkkinen Suite, which consists of four pieces: Le Minkkinen and the Maidens on the Island, Swan in Tuoneila, Le Minkkinen in Tuoneila and Return of Minkkinen, among which Swan in Tuoneila is the most famous. In 1897, sibelius was awarded an annuity by the Finnish government. In 1899, he composed the symphonic poem "Ode to Finland". At that time, in the face of the pressure from the imperial Russia on the press, patriots rose up to hold a fund-raising party to raise funds for newspapers, and "Ode to Finland" was the finale in the soundtrack of the sculpture drama "The Awakening of Finland" staged at this party. "Ode to Finland" is a masterpiece internationally recognized and regarded as a symbol of Finnish national spirit, with its magnificent tone, passion for fighting and magnificent ending full of winning belief. Vico Goskenami, a post-poet, filled the theme melody of Ode to Finland with lyrics and became a chorus, which was more widely circulated. Since then, in more than 2 years, he has devoted himself to symphonies, as well as the creation of orchestral music, chamber music, piano music, songs and chorus.

As a nationalist composer, sibelius left a valuable musical legacy in almost all fields of music, especially his instrumental music creation. He didn't directly quote folk melody as the theme, but under the influence of late romanticism and Russian music, he digested Finland's inherent musical grammar and creatively created a unique form, becoming a unique and important composer in Northern Europe. In 1929, he stopped writing. At the age of 92.
