The Mazurka in A-flat Major is a small piece written by Mikhail Glinka. Glinka was known as the Father of Russian Music, in no small part due to him founding a distinct nationalist school that diverges from the German tradition, and gaining wide recognition across his country.

4 Fragments is a set of four pieces written by Leonid Sabaneyev. As a close friend of Alexander Scriabin, Sabaneyev’s music takes after Scriabin in ways like harmony, texture, and especially mood, to the point of nearly outdoing his friend in especially the last quality. The first and fourth pieces of the set can be stylistically compared to the latter half of Scriabin’s middle period. The second and third are atonal and coincide with Scriabin’s late period. The set begins with the Disperato, which, after a length of brooding and tormentous reflection, unleashes a volcanic wrath that renders any passage hereafter into dust. Later on, Lento severamente e maestoso plies the listener with a series of synthetic chords, not least of which is the mystic chord that periodically appears and fades. The final work, Misterioso, inquieto (not labeled in the score), halfheartedly returns to tonality, and like a witch’s brew, simmers and bubbles its way to completion. Unlike a witch’s brew, the end result is not exactly a tonic substance. This piece shows influence from Sabaneyev's previous work in Op. 5 No. 2. Order: 1. Disperato in B Minor: 0:08 2. Con stravaganza: 3:34 3. Lento severamente e maestoso: 4:56 4. Misterioso, inquieto in D Minor: 6:51 Catalogue: Op. 13 Performer: Michael Schäfer on piano Note: This channel does not own the score or audio, and they are only used for non-commercial purposes. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CKdgKwWC-8

Tempo di Minuetto is a short piece for viola da gamba by Ukrainian-American lutenist, painter, musicologist, and Baroque-style composer Roman Turovsky-Savchuk, who is the foremost of the Vox Saeculorum association of composers. It follows the format of a ternary form Minuet sans trio. This particular piece has two versions slightly differing from each other, and both were written under the pseudonym “Gotthold Ephraim Sautscheck”, one amongst Turovsky’s many identities. Turovsky was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, in 1961 to painter Mykhaylo Shaulovych Turovsky. From an early age, Mykhaylo exposed to his son the art of painting, and this would continue Roman Turovsky’s activities later in life. During his teens, Roman Turovsky also began to show an intense interest in the aural arts as well. After emigrating to the United States in the late 1970s, the younger Turovsky pursued his higher education in studying both painting and music, in particular historical performance and composition for the latter of the two subjects. Since graduating from the Parsons School of Design, he participated in many exhibitions; his art has often been showcased, with permanent displays at the University of Dayton. He also worked as a scenic artist in the film industry, and is a member of the United Scenic Artists labor union. As a musician, Turovsky played many instruments common in the Baroque period, including the lute, the viola da gamba, the torban, and the carillon. As a composer, he composed over 1000 works historically-informed with Baroque practices and influenced by his Ukrainian blood. He did so mostly under various false names, likely to pass off his works as authentic originals to avoid the stigma of engaging in period compositions in academia and to avoid having his music immediately dismissed for their recent composition dates by those various Soyjackademics; one such hoax in 2000 led to a Russian article to eponymously coin the word “Sautscheckerei” [English: *”Sautscheckery”] to denote the nature of Turovsky-Savchuk’s activities. Turovsky’s compositions were performed by numerous established musicians, broadcasted on radio, featured in festivals, and served as soundtracks to various films. He helped found Vox Saeculorum, a group of composers dedicated to composing in the Baroque style, and the Delian Society, an international group dedicated to studying and performing contemporary tonal compositions.
