Sibelius continued studying in Berlin (from 1889 to 1890) and in Vienna (from 1890 to 1891).
Sibelius progressively stripped away formal markers of sonata form in his work and, instead of contrasting multiple themes, he focused on the idea of continuously evolving cells and fragments culminating in a grand statement.
Sibelius has fallen in and out of fashion, but remains one of the most popular 20th century symphonists, with complete cycles of his symphonies continuing to be recorded.

Sibelius is considered to be one of the most popular composers of the late 19th and early 20th century.
Sibelius over time sought to use new chord patterns, including naked tritones, for example in the Symphony No. 4, and bare melodic structures to build long movements of music, in a manner similar to Joseph Haydn's use of built-in dissonances.
Sibelius would often alternate melodic sections with blaring brass chords that swell and fade away, or he would underpin his music with repeating figures which push against the melody and counter-melody.
