Nikolai Parfyonov (1893-1938, Russia)

[Christopher]

There are two performances on YouTube:

https://youtu.be/sIAxOz9qISI?si=RalhDkN2rLkDq-LF - 1. Moderato assai
https://youtu.be/Hqi47YDwgyo?si=l10Vimj65KXk7nOs - 2. Andante
https://youtu.be/NM8vjg_AV9U?si=KhpUB1g6EsSkP9Hc - 3. Allegro non troppo

Information on this obscure composer seems only to be in Russian, so you will need google translate.  Here are some links with information on his tragically short life, cut short by an NKVD firing squad in 1938. See also the first youtube link above which has a long description of the piece.
