'Enticement, Op. 17/3' is a composition by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. It was composed in 1902 and premiered on December 8, 1902, in Helsinki, Finland. The piece is part of a set of six pieces for piano, collectively known as 'Kyllikki, Op. 41'. 'Enticement' is the third movement of the set and is characterized by its delicate and playful melody. The piece is written in the key of A major and is in 3/4 time. The tempo marking is 'Allegretto', which indicates a moderately fast tempo. The piece begins with a light and airy melody played by the right hand, accompanied by a simple chord progression in the left hand. The melody is then repeated with slight variations, adding a sense of development to the piece. The middle section of the piece features a more dramatic melody, played in the left hand, while the right hand provides a delicate accompaniment. The piece then returns to the original melody, which is played with even more ornamentation and embellishment than before. The piece ends with a gentle coda, bringing the piece to a peaceful and satisfying conclusion. Overall, 'Enticement' is a charming and delightful piece of music, showcasing Sibelius' skill in creating beautiful melodies and his ability to create a sense of development and variation within a short piece.
