By far the most influential composer was Jean Sibelius (1865–1957); he composed nearly all his music before 1930.
Jean Sibelius composed the Lemminkäinen Suite based on Kalevala, with the second piece entitled Swan of Tuonela (Tuonelan joutsen).
The Finnish composer Jean Sibelius is also associated with impressionism, and his The Swan of Tuonela (1893) predates Debussy's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune (regarded as a seminal work of musical impressionism) by a year.
In 1957, Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, 91, died.
