Islamey
''Islamey'' (subtitled ''Oriental Fantasy''), Op. 18, is a composition for piano by Russian composer Mily Balakirev, written in September 1869.
==Composition==
Balakirev, a committed nationalist whose music was influenced by Russian traditions, was inspired to write the piece after a trip to the Caucasus, as he relates in a letter:
...the majestic beauty of luxuriant nature there and the beauty of the inhabitants that harmonises with it – all these things together made a deep impression on me... Since I interested myself in the vocal music there, I made the acquaintance of a Circassian prince, who frequently came to me and played folk tunes on his instrument, that was something like a violin. One of them, called Islamey, a dance-tune, pleased me extraordinarily and with a view to the work I had in mind on Tamara I began to arrange it for the piano. The second theme was communicated to me in Moscow by an Armenian actor, who came from the Crimea and is, as he assured me, well known among the Crimean Tatars. (Letter to Eduard Reiss (1851–1911), 1892)
The piece was composed in the course of one month, in stark contrast to Balakirev's usual habit of taking sometimes years to complete a work. Balakirev revised the work in 1902.〔("Balakirev, Mily Alekseyevich" ) by Stuart Cambell, ''Grove Music Online'' 〕 It is divided into three distinct parts, an opening (''Allegro agitato''), which introduces the main theme, a middle (''Tranquillo – Andantino espressivo'') that introduces an entirely new theme (both described in the above quote), and a third (''Allegro vivo – Presto furioso''), which returns to the main theme.
