Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
(Music Sales America). The Suite For Small Orchestra No.1 was composed between 1917 and 1925. This miniature work, comprising an introduction and three national dances, is notable for its prominent rhythms and rich orchestral colouring. Suite No.2 is extremely witty and rhythmically varied. The employment of the piano obligato, tuba, and the colourful application of the percussion instruments are described as particularly original orchestral effects.
Suite 1. Andante -- Napolitana -- Espanola -- Balalaika Suite 2. Marche -- Valse -- Polka -- Galop [from the composer's Pièces faciles 1917 set]
