Symphony No. 4 in A minor, Op. 63 by Jean Sibelius

Sibelius completed this symphony in 1911 with the premiere performance being given in April the same year in Helsinki. Some musicologists have suggested the ominous tone of the work to be a representation of the tense atmosphere in Europe at the time, leading to the outbreak of WWI. A more likely explanation for the tone of this symphony is that in 1908 Sibelius had undergone surgery to remove a tumour from his throat, and the possibility of the cancer returning was a constant fear during the following 4-5 years.

This symphony is comprised of four movements:
I. Tempo molto moderato, quasi adagio
II. Allegro molto vivace
III. Il tempo largo
IV. Allegro
