This piece was written as a tribute to the people of Fair Isle, a remote community that lies between Orkney and Shetland, which is also the home of the composer. The work was composed for the Grieg Trio of Norway, and reflect the ensemble's virtuosity with striking cadenzas that showcase the performers. The music is rugged, ever-changing and full of the energy of this unique landscape.

Russian Rag is one of Elena Kats-Chernins most famous pieces. It was arranged by her for various instrumentations and was used, among other things, as film music in the clay animation film Mary & Max. The composer herself says: Ragtimes are such fun to write and they have a somewhat dark melancholy. Russian music often has a melancholic quality, and I was brought up on Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev and Shostakovich. I rarely write in major keys it seems and Russian Rag is no exception, however it concludesoptimistically on a major chord..
