''The Wood Nymph'' (in Swedish, '; subtitled ''フランス語:ballade pour l'orchestre''), Op. 15, is a single-movement tone poem for orchestra written in 1894 by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. The piece, which premiered on 17 April 1895 in Helsinki, Finland, with Sibelius himself conducting, takes its program from Swedish poet Viktor Rydberg's 1882 literary work of the same name, in which the hero Björn wanders through a magical Nordic forest and happens upon a beautiful—and coquettish—wood nymph (). Organizationally, the tone poem consists of four informal sections, each of which corresponds to one of the poem's four stanzas and evokes the mood of a particular episode: first, heroic vigor; second, frenetic activity; third, sensual love; and fourth, inconsolable grief. Despite the music's beauty, many critics have faulted Sibelius for his "over-reliance" on the source material's narrative structure. Never published, ''The Wood Nymph'' gradually fell out of the repertoire, with the exception of a performance in 1936. Six decades later, Finnish musicologist Kari Kilpeläinen (unexpectedly) recovered the lost manuscript among the University of Helsinki Library archives, a discovery that "caught Finland, and the musical world, by surprise". Osmo Vänskä and the Lahti Symphony Orchestra subsequently gave the piece its modern day "premiere" on 9 February 1996. Despite the tone poem's sixty year disappearance, its thematic material nonetheless survived in abridged form via two other Op. 15 iterations: a piece for solo piano; and more importantly, a melodrama for narrator, piano, two horns, and strings (Sibelius likely arranged the melodrama from the tone poem, although he claimed the opposite). A typical performance of the tone poem lasts about 22 minutes, some 11 minutes longer than the melodrama. == History ==
