In 1929 Sibelius sent some small pieces to the New York publisher Carl Fischer for
consideration. Included among these was the Suite for Violin and String Orchestra, to which
he had assigned the opus number 117.
The Suite for Violin and String Orchestra represents the culmination point in a series of
works written for violin and orchestra which started with the serenades op. 69 and continued
with the Six Humoresques opp. 87 & 89. Together these works bear witness to the
composer's deep insight into the instrumental possibilities of the violin. In these works, more
limited in formal scope than the Violin Concerto though they be, the voice of the solo violin
- Sibelius' second mother-tongue - unites with the orchestral writing of a mature and
experienced symphonist. The reduction and solo part are published together for the first time.
