"На сопках Маньчжурии" - Russian Waltz

"На сопках Маньчжурии" (On the hill of Manchuria) is a waltz composed in 1906 by Ilya Alekseevich Shatrov.
The original title of the waltz was "The Mokshansky Regiment on the Hills of Manchuria" and referred to an incident during the Battle of Mukden, the disastrous final land battle of the Russo-Japanese War, when the Mokshansky Infantry Regiment was encircled by Japanese forces for 11 days, during which it sustained considerable casualties.

Gives a strange feeling, sadness, hope and dance material. I adore it.
