Kuolema (Finnish: “Death”), JS 113, is incidental music for orchestra by Jean Sibelius for a 1903 play of that title by his brother-in-law Arvid Järnefelt, structured in six movements and originally scored for string orchestra, bass drum and a bell.

However, because of the publishing contract, Sibelius saw relatively little money in terms of royalties from the performances of Valse triste.

Sibelius did not ascribe an opus number to it, it was not performed again in his lifetime, and it was not published until 1973, 16 years after his death.

In 1906, he wrote a Rondino der Liebenden for string orchestra, adapted from the music for Kuolema.

For this, Sibelius wrote a revised version of Rondino der Liebenden, which he now called Canzonetta; and a new piece, Valse romantique.
