Symphony No. 7 (Sibelius)

The Symphony No. 7 in C Major, Op. 105 was the final published symphony of Jean Sibelius. Completed in 1924, the Seventh is notable for using only a single movement, in contrast to the standard symphonic formula of four movements.

After Sibelius finished its composition on March 2, the work was premiered in Stockholm on March 24 as Fantasia sinfonica No. 1, a "symphonic fantasy". The composer was apparently undecided on what name to give the piece, and only granted it status as a symphony after some deliberation. For its publication on February 25, 1925, the score was titled "Symphony No. 7 (in one movement)".
