wow wow wow. It certainly sounds like Sibelius, just about every bit of it, a wintry air that goes beyond even the Fourth and the Sixth. If this is indeed it and representative of the whole, it would have puzzled a lot of listeners just as the Fourth did.

I would expect Sibelius sketches to sound like Sibelius. :) Perhaps one day we'll know whether it's the 8th or not.
