Composer
Jean Sibelius
Wrote seven symphonies and Finlandia, which became a national symbol under Russian censorship. He then published almost nothing for the last thirty years of his life.
Jean Sibelius was a Finnish composer of the late Romantic and early modern periods. He is widely regarded as his country's greatest composer, and his music is often credited with having helped Finland develop a stronger national identity when the country was struggling from several attempts at Russification in the late 19th century.
