Phillip Sear plays a piece from a 1903 set  by the Ukrainian composer Théodore Akimenko (1876-1945).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ukrainian pianist, conductor and composer Fedor Stepanovich Akimenko (1876-1945) studied in St Petersburg with Rimsky Korsakov - and later taught the young Stravinsky there. After a spell in Tbilisi, he spent time teaching in Nice (1903-6), and he returned to France permanently in 1923.  This rather pastoral piece reminds me a little of Rebikov in its simplicity and directness of expression.
