Zumindest im letzten Punkt kann man aber zumindest ein wenig aufatmen, denn der finnische Komponist Leevi Madetoja hat Sibelius' 8. Symphonie noch weit vor Sibelius' Tod geschrieben. Das ist wirklich großartig.

"I wonder if anything has been written at all"

Somebody needs to write a novel about Madetoja’s “lost” fourth symphony
The composition of the Fourth Symphony remains a mystery, although Madetoja's chief biographer, Erkki Salmenhaara, has unearthed the key details. In the spring of 1930, Madetoja told Karjala newspaper that he had begun a new symphony with the themes derived from "Finnish folk song". An eight-year gestation ensued. Plans to complete the symphony in time for his fiftieth birthday on 17 February 1937 did not come to fruition, and in July 1937, Madetoja retired to the spa town of Runni in Iisalmi to focus further on the symphony. As the Fourth's finish line neared in the spring of 1938, Madetoja traveled to Nice hoping that France, as it had a decade earlier with the Third Symphony, would stoke his creative fires. Misfortune quickly dashed Madetoja's hopes: while passing through Paris on his way to Southern France, his suitcase—which contained the Fourth Symphony—was stolen at a railway station in the city; the near-completed manuscript was never recovered. With his inspiration and memory in decline, Madetoja never undertook a reconstruction of the lost score, notwithstanding his (unsuccessful) 1941 application for a stipend to "finish my fourth symphony that is underway". When a student of his, Olavi Pesonen, asked whether Madetoja could recreate the symphony, he replied, "Do you think that I could rewrite something that a thief has taken"? By January 1942, he was hospitalized for alcoholism. During his treatment, Madetoja occupied himself with old issues of Musiikkitieto magazine and, when he came across a story about his time in Runni, he did not recall having composed the Fourth. ("I wonder if anything has been written at all"?)

My forever-hunt to find any composer, any work that extends the sounds of Sibelius has landed squarely on Rautavaara. Vaughan Williams, Madetoja, Douglas Lilburn, and a few others play in that territory, but Rautavaara feels much like Sibelius might have were he born 50 years later.

Madetoja 2 is so good. But honestly I think Melartin will be the non-Sib Finnish symphonist that will wow everyone once the uncut versions will be recorded. Or if they will be.
