Jedermann (English: Everyman, Finnish: Jokamies), Op. 83, is incidental music by Jean Sibelius to Hugo von Hofmannsthal's play of the same name. He composed the work on a commission from Jalmari Lahdensuo for the Finnish National Theatre in 1916. Robert Kajanus conducted the Helsinki City Orchestra in the first performance at Helsinki's National Theatre on 5 November 1916. Sibelius arranged in 1925−26 three movements for piano: Episodio, Scèna and Canzone.[1]

After its premiere in 1916, the work became one of the most neglected of his compositions. Nevertheless, it has been considered a hidden gem.[2]
