LIKE all his music, Sibelius's Violin Concerto is eloquent of the real national spirit of his own country, which may account to some extent at least for the fact that it is not yet so well known as its finelv melodious qualities deserve.
To the rest of the world Sibelius's music was in a new language when it began to make its way abroad—a a language which we in this country are only gradually learning to understand. But such music as this concerto needs only to bo more often heard to become as truly popular as ' Finlandia ' and ' Valso Tristo ' ; it has all the same qualities of sincerity and strength. The solo violin begins at once with a bold and vigorous melody which has a very large say in the first movement. When ho has elaborated it, we hear the 'second main theme, and after that, although there are many changes of mood and rhythm, the course of the movement is clear and distinct. The slow movement has a few bars of introduction before the solo violin enters with the principal theme, and, though the movement is quite short, it, too, is full of varied interest.
The last is very energetic, and the principal theme, again played first by the soloist, begins over an insistent and emphatic rhythm. Broader, but still instinct with energy, is a second principal theme, but almost all the way through it is the rather stern insistent rhythm of the beginning which has the chief say.
