Cyril Scott

A Complete Little Russian Suite

Cyril Scott was an English composer, writer, and poet. He was essentially a late romantic composer, whose style was at the same time strongly influenced by impressionism. His harmony was notablyexotic. Scott wrote around four hundred works, which include two mature symphonies, three operas, three Piano concertos, concertos for Violin, Cello, Oboe and Harpsichord, several overtures, four oratorios, as well asa mass of chamber music. Between 1903 and 1920 Scott wrote copiously for the Piano. Most of these pieces were harmonically adventurous for their time and easy to play; they circulated widely inmanycountries of the world. A Little Russian Suite for Piano was composed during this period. This complete edition includes all three movements (RussianAir, Siberian Waltz, Dance) which can either be played separately or together as a suite. Performance time of the whole suite is approximately 6 minutes.
