(Hairlamaar) So, for Sibelius. 7 Symphonies. 1- Vigorous, the one I liked the most at first, specially the last movement, Finale. 2- Still trying to figure out why this is most liked and most popular. 3- Amazing. 4- Very nice and interesting one. 5- Very nice too, beautiful. especially the final minute, after heavy (thinking or sth, tolgoi duurgem) few seconds or a minute, 6 pan pans, the End. 6- My second favorite. Very cute and melodic. Makes me happy. Uneventful ending. 7- Claimed to be pop...
