Score and part. 11 pages. Diego Marani #1058726. Published by Diego Marani (A0.1481416). Valse triste (Sad Waltz), Op. 44/1, is a short orchestral work by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. It was originally part of the incidental music he composed for his brother-in-law Arvid Järnefelt's 1903 play Kuolema (Death), but is far better known as a separate concert piece. Sibelius wrote six pieces for the 2 December 1903 production of Kuolema. The first was titled Tempo di valse lente - Poco risoluto. In 1904 he revised the piece, which was performed in Helsinki on 25 April of that year as Valse triste. It was an instant hit with the public, took on a life of its own, and remains one of Sibelius's signature pieces. It is considered one of the most beautiful and moving waltzes in the history of music. This arrangement for alto sax with piano accompaniment reflects faithfully the original and it is suitable for any occasion: classroom, repertoire and recital.
