Novellette (Sibelius)
Novellette, Op. 102, is a standalone duo for violin and piano written in 1922 by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. It was published in 1923 by the Danish firm Edition Wilhelm Hansen. Along with the Danses champêtre, the Four Pieces, and the Three Pieces, Sibelius's Novellette is among his late-career, mature works in the genre.
A short miniature, Novellette takes about two-and-a-half to three minutes to play. It is in the key of E minor and has a time signature; its tempo marking is Allegro.
