Sibelius wrote the five minute Romance, Op. 42 in 1903 for string orchestra, originally titling it Andante. However he was persuaded to change the name about five years later by a critic's review. In 1903, Sibelius was still composing in a Romantic style, not the austere sounds heard after he composed the 4th Symphony.

Romance is made up of three sections; A slow Andante, a faster middle section and a slow third section. Mr. Sauer has distilled the music down to a lovely solo for Horn and Piano.

This crowd-pleaser will work well for advanced performers.
