#2 from 'À Argenteau', Op.40
-----------------------------------------------------
Cui (1835–1918) was a member of the group of Russian composers known as 'The Five' or 'Mighty Handful'. Like most of the other members, he was not a full-time musician and was actually a Russian army general, and an expert on fortifications. He was nevertheless a prolific composer. 'À Argenteau' is a set of nine pieces from 1887—musical reminiscences of the Belgian estate of his patron, Louise, Comtesse de Mercy-Argenteau. 'Dolce far niente' can be translated as 'carefree idleness'. Rheinberger included a piece with the same title in his suite 'Aus Italien'. Glazounov later orchestrated five movements from Cui's suite—but not this one.
