Figures released by Teosto, Finland’s music copyright agency, shows that Kalevi Aho’s Percussion Concerto ‘Sieidi’, premiered in 2010, received more performances last year than Sibelius’s national anthem Finlandia.

Or his 4th and 7th symphonies, for that matter.

However, the Sibelius violin concerto is still top of the charts, followed by his second symphony.
