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..

Jean Sibelius' Opus 78 is characterised by its sheer musicality and design for home study. The set closes with an agile study called Rigaudon, a lively and testing piece which is a real challenge for an amateur violinist but one which they will enjoy immensely! The title mirrors an eighteenth-century Gavotte-like French dance and with rapid arpeggios and stuttering pizzicato creates this powerful sense of urgency and rhythm.
