The quinquennial International Jean Sibelius Violin Competition, instituted in 1965, the Sibelius Monument, unveiled in 1967 in Helsinki's Sibelius Park, the Sibelius Museum, opened in Turku in 1968, and the Sibelius Hall concert hall in Lahti, opened in 2000, were all named in his honour, as was the asteroid 1405 Sibelius.
The Finnish composer Jean Sibelius (1865–1957) wrote over 550 original works during his eight-decade artistic career. [1] This began around 1875 with a short miniature for violin and cello called Water Droplets (Vattendroppar), [2] and ended a few months before his death at age 91 with the orchestration of two earlier songs, "Kom nu hit, död" ("Come Away, Death") and "Kullervon valitus ...

An example of sheet music created in Sibelius. Sibelius is a scorewriter program developed and released by Sibelius Software (now part of Avid).Beyond creating, editing and printing music scores, it can also play the music back using sampled or synthesised sounds.

Tagged PDF is not required in situations where a PDF file is intended only for print.

With the advent of the personal computer in the late 1980s and beyond, music typesetting could now be accomplished by a graphics computer software made for this purpose, such as Dorico, Finale, Musescore, or Sibelius, which has reduced the necessity of music manuscripts.
Sibelius repeatedly refused to release it for performance, though he continued to assert that he was working on it even after he had, according to later reports from his family, burned the score and associated material, probably in 1945. Much of Sibelius's reputation, during his lifetime and subsequently, derived from his work as a symphonist.
