On 1 January 1939 Sibelius conducted it in a broadcast to the United States as Finland's greeting to the world fair then being held in New York. This latter version, which is now the better known of the two, was published in 1939 and has been preserved in a unique recording with the composer himself conducting. Sibelius was present on the occasion, which presumably inspired him to re-arrange it for string orchestra and timpani ad lib. The Andante festivo was then performed in amateur academic circles from duplicated and hand-made copies, and was given its first semi-public performance at the wedding of one of Sibelius's relatives at the German Church in Helsinki. Few are, however, aware that it was originally written for string quartet at around the same time as the sixth symphony. It is one of the most popular orchestral works by Jean Sibelius. The Andante festivo is a jubilant intrada whose spaciousness and breadth makes it an attractive work for professional, amateur or school orchestras alike.
