Re: [ARSCLIST] Assistance Please with Russian Waltz
Uncle Dave told you that this waltz dates from 1903-1905 and became
popular
in Russia during the war with Japan. You have nominated someone with a
similar name who couldm't have composed it until the '40s. That's not
very
helpful.
I would put my money on Steve Smolian and suggest that Dave Lewis should
find a copy of Danube waves and listen to it.

Lajos Kiss was Hungarian, it seems. I would think it more likely this
person:
Kuss, Margarita Ivanova, 1921-
The first initial is the same, and she is on OCLC
with a couple of scores and a recording of songs. But no waltzes.
