 By the time Sibelius gave his Symphony No. 5 its first performance in 1915, he had come around to Mahler's credo that the "symphony must be like the world". 'It has to include everything', he remarked. The fifth symphony was written in the midst of one of the most fascinating musical decades in history, which included Stravinsky's Rite of Spring and The Firebird, as well as Varese's modernist experimentation.[([[http://www.operatoday.com/content/2005/09/|Opera Today]])]
+===== Retirement =====
+Sibelius had earned enough money to live comfortably more than 20 years before his death and had quit composing entirely. He retired to bask in the adoration of his compatriots, and he liked long walks in the woods, entertaining friends, and indulging in his favorite cigars and beer.[([[https://www.themonthly.com.au/issue/2012/november/1351733081/mark-mckenna/who-stopped-music#mtr|The Monthly]])]
+===== Dislike Of Critics =====
+'Pay no attention to what the critics say,' Sibelius famously said of professional music critics. 'There has never been a statue dedicated to a critic.'[([[https://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/08/04/statue-of-critic/|Quote Investigator]])]
+===== Ainola =====
+The State of Finland purchased Ainola, Sibelius' lakeside home, from his surviving daughters in 1972. It became a museum in 1974.[([[http://www.sibelius.fi/english/ainola/ainola_kotimuseona_1974-.html|Sibelius]])]
+===== Hero =====
+His image appeared on the Finnish 100 mark bill until it was removed from circulation in 2002. Since 2011, Finland has observed Flag Day on December 8, the composer's birthday, also known as the "Day of Finnish Music".
