Glinka wrote a series of delightful polkas, mazurkas, gallops and waltzes that were predominantly intended for fashionable drawing rooms and salons. He also wrote more substantial pieces such as the Grande Valse in G major and the Polonaise in E major which were initially scored for orchestra. Some pieces were also based on pre-existing melodies such as the Variations on a theme of Mozart, which is inspired by a melody drawn from Die Zauberflote and the attractive Tarantella in A minor, a rhythmic adaptation of the Russian folk song 'In the field there stood a birch tree.' Inga Fiolia, the Georgian-German pianist, is quickly establishing herself as one of her generation's most exciting and gifted young concert soloists. Winning first prize at several international piano competitions in Germany, Belgium, and Italy, Inga has also received awards from Piano News, Germany's leading piano magazine, the Solti Foundation, the German Academic Foundation for Musical Life, and Yehudi Menuhin Live Music Now. InchInga Fiolia's interpretations are powerfully organic, there is no trace of artificiality about the way she concentrates and engages with the work.Inch (Parisian le petit concertoirleiste) Album Tracks 1.
