It's probably Lajos Kiss. Danube Waves? Steve Smolian ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Lewis" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, May 21, 2007 2:21 PM Subject: [ARSCLIST] Assistance Please with Russian Waltz Arsclisters, I am having an awful time trying to nail down the author of a Russian waltz, title transliterated as "Amurskiye volnī" but translated variously as "Waves of the Amur River Waltz" or "Amur's Waves - Waltz" and almost anything in between. It is often identified as "Russian Traditional," but the composer's first initial is "M." and the last name variously given as "Kuss," "Cuess," "Guess," - in cyrillic it is "Kiocc." What I'd like to find is a standardized spelling of the composer's name, the full surname and birth/death dates if possible. I understand that this is a very popular waltz in Russia, and it emerged during the Russo-Japanese War; one site provided the lyrics and dated the work to "1903-05," but alas, provided no composer name.
