Russian & Soviet Composers - Part 3

[caostotale]

This is a different waltz from the one that's included in the volume of piano pieces by this composer that Alfor shared:

Valery Alexandrovich GAVRILIN
Waltz (in Memory of K. Batyushkov), for piano

Gavrilin - Waltz (in Memory of K. Batyushkov), for piano.pdf

[caostotale]

...continuing forward with another volume of mid-level teaching pieces. That Taktakishvili piece is a familiar one that's been floating around for a while. Aside from that, some new faces and some repeat contributors:
