The mighty handful was a group of five prominent 19th-century Russian composers who worked together to create a distinct national style of classical music
source. They were
Balakirev (best remembered for
Islamey), three still prominent: Mussorgsky,Borodin, and Rimsky-Korsakov. And the fifth one, no-one remembers:
César Cui. I don't think that I've ever heard his music until today.
I enjoyed this flowing, lilting waltz and have
found the score on IMSLP. I might have a go at playing it myself.
Perhaps Cui is neglected because, as an engineering professor and military general, as well as being a composer, he is just too bad-ass for the small men of today to admit that he even existed.

Either I don't understand how to end a post, or using %29 doesn't do the trick. Trying % in a comment.

Well, I've got it to work, but when I go to edit my comment the text shows the HTML entity and the edit box shows the percent sign that the entity encodes. shrug
