Maria Bach: Piano Quintet "Volga Quintet", String Quintet & Cello Sonata

[tuatara442442]

I too don't like the volga boatman variations very much.
But the first movement of the Volga Quintet is one of the ultimate hyper late-romantic chamber pieces to me, alongside Vladigerov's Piano Trio, and feels rather similar to latter's first movement, only fancier and dreamier.
It is derivative in a great way, a kind of ideal synthesization.
