Humoresque No. 3 in G minor, Op. 89/a by Jean Sibelius
In 1916 Sibelius intended to compose a suite for orchestra in six movements. By 1917 he had finished the work and was preparing the piece for publication and performance, however due to an error with the preparation of the collection, they were considered as separate works instead of a combined suite. As such, the suite of six movements would become a collection of six ‘Humoresques’ for violin and orchestra. The first performance of the combined collection would take place in November of 1919 in Helsinki with Sibelius conducting.
