Sibelius
Sibelius [1865-1957] was a Finnish music composer. Romantic Nationalism was a crucial element in his artistic output and his politics. Looks pretty right-wing these days, but it probably had some function in his days. Here is his very nice Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 43 from 1902 by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.
part 1 Allegretto
part 2 Tempo Andante, Ma Rubato
part 3 Vivacissimo
part 4 Allegro Moderato
Enjoy
