Description: SCP-XXXX is a set of 23 pages of sheet music, Each page has an unfinished written score of music, that closely resembles Sibelius's unfinished 8th Symphony. It was recovered at [REDACTED], Finland next to Sibelius's grave.

When a page is nearby any living subject, it will try to complete itself by using a nearby subject to use a stylograph that it produced by unknown means to complete the page. When a page completes, it will activate its anomalous effects by making the subject play it from an instrument or sing it depending on the situation. When the subject dies or passes out during the writing process of SCP-XXXX, the behavior of SCP-XXXX will stop. The effects of the completed pages are symptoms from Sibelius's cause of death (Hemorrhagic stroke). When pages are played together, effects will amalgamate and will cause the subject to listen to [DATA EXPUNGED]. After the effects of SCP-XXXX are finished, SCP-XXXX will revert to its unfinished form.
Subjects that were observing the effects during and after reported to see a figure resembling Sibelius
reading the 'completed' piece and then burns SCP-XXXX newly written symphony to its unfinished form.

Addendum XXXX-1: Its origin is currently unknown, in previous years musicologists have theorized that Sibelius started his 8th symphony in 1924. Sibelius burned his entire work when he wasn't satisfied with it, his written quote to Basil Cameron was "I have finished my eighth symphony several times, but I am still not satisfied with it.". In ██/██/20██, The original manuscript of the 8th symphony suddenly disappeared. And was found next to Sibelius's grave.
EDIT: After close inspection of the manuscript found next to Sibelius's grave, it was much more damaged, and most of the written parts of the manuscript were written with an unknown substance than ink.
