Based on what a comment here said, I had thought this piece would be stereotypical orientalism for its era. Not so much! An enjoyable listen, and a nice mix of elements from the east and west.

[@vaclavmiller8032]

A little like the Java Suite in its late-romantic handling of eastern idiom. Lovely.

[@kofiLjunggren]

Lovely!

[@na4zagin3]

These pieces refer Japanese traditional scales and harmony. Interesting.

[@critical9999]

that was very racist

[@elrichardo1337]

i can see why you'd say that but i'm hesitant to immediately label it "racist"
are these pieces a western filtering of eastern music? yes, certainly
do they, as a result, lose out on some specific eastern musical idioms? probably
does that automatically make it racist, given the western classical tradition's issues with orientalism? that's up to you to decide
