Phillip Sear plays an attractive evocation of a waltz by the Russian composer Samuil Maykapar (1867-1938)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Russian composer Samuil (Samuel) Maykapar (Самуил Моисеевич Майкапар,1867 -- 1938) studied at the St Petersburg Conservatory, and later with  Theodor Leschetizky.  After a concertizing career in Europe he returned to St. Petersburg as a professor at the Conservatory, and performed a complete Beethoven sonata cycle there in 1927.  You can see more about him here: http://bit.ly/1mk89dg  .  His piano works tend to be found in anthologies and this one (from a set of 10 pieces) was played from a 1915 American anthology.  I'm not sure when the piece was written.  I like the slightly Chinese feel of the closing bars!
